dmcsniz Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 My dad gave me his Nikon d70s as he lost the charger to it years ago, i finally got a new charger and have fully charged the battery. The camera turns on and takes pictures, the flash works, shutter sound etc the top display screen works but the lcd screen were you shoud be able to view your pictures wont turn on at all ive tried a lot of different things. I have held the factory reset buttons down and theres no indication on the top screen that it factory resets (not sure if that would even work for the screen anyway) Please help thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it with my newer Nikons. Might be wrong, but if you go to trouble shooting it could be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Vongries Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Possibly someone with a D70 can help. I haven't even handled one for 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 It is a 2005 camera. Wouldn't be that surprising that it is no longer totally functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_halliwell Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 The D70S, in it's time, was a nice camera. It became the body of choice for British Road Speeding Cameras! However, the price of a new charger was probably worth more than the camera. It's not viable to get it fixed, but if you're handy with a small screwdriver, have a look inside, just be very wary about the flash capacitor. This gives you a teardown for IR conversion... https://www.lifepixel.com/tutorials/infrared-diy-tutorials/nikon-d70-d70s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_smith3 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 See if this helps. Look for the green light blinking. Taking out the battery, waiting and then reinstalling the battery might help. I never owned this camera. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/1821391 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
