The Nikon D5100 replaces the Nikon D5000 as one of Nikon's popular consumer DSLR cameras.

Camera won't turn on

The camera will not respond after the power button is pressed.

Dead battery

If the battery has run out of charge, the camera won't respond when you press the power button. The problem is easily remedied by charging the battery using a power adapter or replacing it with a freshly charged unit.

Bad battery

If the battery seems to die exceptionally quickly, or doesn't recharge even after being plugged into a power adapter, it may be time to purchase a replacement.

Battery compartment is dirty

If the battery won't charge, there may be dust or debris stopping your battery from charging. Take out the battery and clean the battery compartment with a cotton swab or cloth.

Loose connections

If the battery is not the problem with the camera then there may be a loose electrical connection in the camera such as a wire which is broken or a wire not connected to the battery properly.

Camera turns on but doesn't work

The camera seems to turn on, but does not function as expected, refusing to take pictures, failing to navigate the memory card, preventing access to the settings, or exhibiting other issues.

Bad motherboard

It's possible that the motherboard, which runs the camera's operating system, has been damaged. In this event, the entire unit can be replaced.

I can't see through the viewfinder properly

The view through the viewfinder is blurry, dark, or otherwise compromised.

Dirty viewfinder

There may be dust, grease, or other grime obscuring the view. Ensure that all accessible transparent parts of the lens and viewfinder have been cleaned carefully using a soft microfiber cloth to rule out this possibility.

Flash won't go off

Even when the camera's settings indicate that the flash should be forced, the flash does not activate when the shutter is pressed.

Burnt bulb

It's possible that the flash bulb unit has burnt out and needs to be replaced. While this isn't one of the most popular replacement parts available for the D5100, it is possible to order a replacement part through Nikon.

Bad flash board

The circuit board that controls the flashbulb may have become damaged and dysfunctional. In that event, the flash board must be replaced with a new unit.

Low battery

The flash on the camera will not work if there is not enough battery power to work it. Charge the battery until it is full before using the flash again.

Digital display won't turn on

The digital display remains black, even when the camera seems to be turned on.

Dead display

If the digital display has been damaged internally or externally and no longer functions, the LCD display screen can be replaced with a new unit.

Camera won't store pictures

Camera seems to take pictures successfully, but the "playback" feature reveals that they have not been saved.

Bad SD card

It's likely that the camera's memory card is unreadable for some reason, in which case the D5100 should report an error if it experiences an error with memory card access. If the SD card appears clean and is inserted correctly but still causes errors, it may be damaged irreparably. Fortunately, replacing it with a new memory card is a simple matter; new cards can be purchased from most consumer electronics retailers.

Mine is having the same issue, did you get any resolution on it

Bill Cooksey -

I have a message coming up when I turn on camera that the battery is it compatible. I have been using this battery for years.

My pictures are grainy/blurry. I’m using automatic mode. It’s really bad on pics of people. I thought it was the lens, but after using a friends lens that I know is good, I now know it is something within the camera body. I have cleaned every mirror/glass surface within the body that I can with a soft cloth. Help

My Nikon is not taking a full picture. The pictures are cut off at the very top. I replaced the lens but that is not the issue. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this?

it's shameful: when you go to a Nikon dealer Today, they say NIKON does not do any repair on that model, because it's too old!

Anybody knowing a service doing it?
