I experienced the OFF error msg on my NIKON D80, when the camera was turned on the OFF error msg would flash and the camera would not function at all: no menu availability, no aperture or focusing operation, no photo could be taken. Sometimes the shutter would actually release as if taking a photo, but none was taken. I replaced the original lense with my second lense (zoom vs. wide angle) and tried starting the camera. It worked with the wide angle lense. When I replaced the wide angle with the zoom, my problem no longer occured. I am not confident the problem has been resolved, but I want it to occur again, and occur more consistently before I take my camera back to the dealer. I fear the "Murphy's Law" of broken machinery: once you bring it back to the pro, the machinery works perfectly; walk out the door, and it fails again.

Good luck with your error/problem resolution.
