sgtkashim- I followed your instructions and everything checks out. When I have more time this weekend I will take it apart and see if anything is disconnected.
thanks again

ChipB-thanks for your very concise reply. It's what I was trying to say in my previous post. lol
The DL I have here does just as yours does. I tried it without the lens as well and the mirror does flip up.

NaCIH20 I see what you're saying. I pulled the lever ( the one with the little circle thingy)and only the lever on the inside of the body moves up and down but the mirror does not move. Is that fixable?
Sgtkashim- I think that I was just describing it wrong to you.

I see what you are describing. I was talking about directly under the shiny rectangle.

as an fyi I found out from the gentleman that I bought it from that he had taken it in to get the viewfinder and the ccd cleaned. he then stored it for a couple of months. I wonder if it was damaged during the cleaning process.
I'm curious when the mirror is locked up what is the bottom (i'm assuming this is the ccd) supposed to look like? I see what looks like a smaller mirror that's on an angle.

ovim- there's a black image being written to the card. it takes up the usual amount of space that it would take if it was a "good" picture. to my knowledge it does not have digital dof preview- if I am wrong please somebody correct me.
Jonathan Mac-how do I check for a broken shutter? if you don't mind me asking

Hi ChipB- thanks for the offer! I already have the service manual for the istdl so I am good. I really appreciate it though.
sgtkashim how long did you put into mirror lock up for? The person I bought it from said that he had it in storage for a couple of months and it worked when he turned it on later then it just started doing the black pics.

Just a quick update. I took it apart and a couple of the metal contacts in the sd slot are broken. I'm hoping that's the problem. I just got to get a replacement sd slot now.
Anyone know where I can get them in Canada?
thanks

Hey There,
I just got a used *istDL for next to nothing. I knew in advance that it had this problem. I figured that it was worth a shot to see if I can get it going again.
Anyways everything seems to work in the menu, lcd screen, the mirror is working, the af works fine, it has fresh eneloops, the lens cap is off. The sd card is confirmed good in the k100d and I have tried formatting it in the camera, I have tried a reset and the firmware is the latest one.
I will go through the process of taking a picture and press the shutter to take the picture. It goes through its process as well the sd light comes on and brings up the preview of the pic. The pic is black and so is every one that is taken. I put some pics from a k100d on the card and I can see them in the lcd so I think the lcd is working.
I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and how you fixed it? Taking the camera apart is not a problem but before I do it I just wanted to know what every ones thoughts are on it.
I suspect a bad sd slot but I am not sure until I take it apart. If I have missed anything please let me know.
Thanks,
Have a great day!
