As mentioned earlier this week, Nikon’s D5000 has experienced a hiccup where a controlled serial number range appears to have issues with turning on. Nikon is holding true to their promise of fixing this problem swiftly, and they have a facility set-up just to handle repairs for those unfortunate few of you afflicted.
If you want to know if your D5000 should be sent in for servicing, check out their page below, where you’ll find a little widget where you can enter your serial number and it’ll tell you if you’re in the affected batch.
To the best of our understanding, this problem has been addressed and all new shipments of D5000′s won’t be afflicted by this issue, so new orders can be certain they’re getting the quality Nikon product they deserve.
