<p>As advised, I'm paid and will move on! Thanks guys.. I was just hoping someone had a "quick-fix" trick.<br> AS always I really appreciate the help. I love this site.</p> <p>Best,<br> James</p>

<p>I'm thinking maybe i'll just pay the 150 and then try to sell it. I see that prices for this camera are still decent.<br> John, good point! I'm always super careful though! :) However, the problem is the camera body and not the lens.<br> Thanks again!</p>

<p>Thanks Bill,</p> <p>I was hoping this was a common issue that can be self-fixed. I'm just trying to find a way around the $150.</p>

<p>Hello!<br> <br />A year and a half ago I bought a Nikon D5100 to use only for video. I've only used it a handful of times, but a couple month ago it fell out of my backpack and took a hit. For the light marks I noticed there is a sign on the body and the 18-55 lens that the camera came with. <br> <br />When I turn on my camera it says "lens not attached" and it won't allow me to do anything. The only option is to put it on manual. Once it's on manual the mirror will "click" and I can shoot video or take photos, but it still won't let me change the aperture. <br> I have tried my camera on different lenses both old and new, and I have tried my lenses on different d5100 bodies. The lenses always work, so the problem is the camera body. </p> <p>Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried cleaning all the circuits and done all that stuff, but it won't work. I took it to Nikon and they want $150! </p> <p>Any ideas?! Thanks and your help is very much appreciated!</p> <p>James</p>
