Released in April 2011, the D5100 replaces the D5000 as one of Nikon's popular consumer DSLR cameras. It features a replaceable Nikon F-mount lens.

How to replace the mirror in my Nikon D5100.

I need to replace the mirror, (which has fallen out).

I have a mirror box assembly, but I am wondering if the mirror can be replaced on it's own.

I managed to remove the mirror from the new mirror box and glue it in place of the old missing one.

Care must be taken as there is a mask underneath the mirror that must also be replaced.

But I am having problems now with the display not working.

The 40 pin connector seems to be the problem, it doesn't look like it's connected properly.
