N90s -How do you attach the Film Pressure Plate to the film door?

As you may or may not know, Nikon was/is replacing the door for Nikon's N90s film door due to the coating melting/deteorating.

They sent me a new door, but requested that I take the pressure plate from the old door and attach it to the new door.

Never having done this, do you know how to do this so that I don't ruin/break anything? (Are there any pictures of this procedure that I can reference?)

Press down and slide one way or the other. It's generally held by two pins that slide into hole slots and lock in place

You have to replace the whole door. There is one on eBay, but you won't like the price. Find it here: eBay

SOURCE: Nikon N75 - error message, nothing working.

You have to reset the rewind counter by pushing the two buttons simultaneously - one on the side of the lens mount, the other by the release button - red, cassette symbols. This tells the camera there's no film in it.

SOURCE: FILM WILL NOT REWIND

On the N80 - there are custom functions you can set in terms of when a film rewinds. Normally it is default to rewinding automatically at the end of a film. If this setting has been changed, or you want to rewind a film before the end - you need to press two buttons and hold them, at the same time.

The first button is the LCD backlight button next to the LCD, and the second is the flash sync button on the rear of the camera. Both should have a little red film symbol on them. Press them both and hold them, and the film should begin to rewind.

Film advance

Try pressing the two button rewind to unjam the camera and then try to take a photo and advance the film. If it still fails, you may have stripped a gear and will need to have the camera professionally repaired. Or, for about $20, you can get a replacement body from eBay and use your current lens.

Hope that helps,

I have an internal scratch on my n90s nikon camera

I believe you mean the focusing screen. While this is an interchangeable part on higher-end Nikon cameras, it's not on the N90s. Your local authorized Nikon repair center may be able to replace it, if they can get a spare.
Before repair, bear in mind that the focusing screen will not directly affect any of your pictures. Due to the very nature of a SLR, when you take a picture the mirror flips up next to the focusing screen to let the light from the lens through to the film, bypassing the focusing screen and the rest of the optical viewfinder system. If the scratch isn't very big then while annoying it won't affect camera operation. If the scratch is very large, on the other hand, it may affect the exposure metering and, of course, your viewing.

I have a Nikon N90S, and it stopped taking pictures after 15 shots. We stopped using the camera, and used our backup to finish the shoot. I thought that maybe the roll of film jammed, but when I...

Have you tried replacing the batteries? It sounds like the batteries may just be too low to wind film, but can function without a load.

I can't remember if the N90S has the vertical grip release or not, but if it does, have you attempted to use it, to see if the camera functions from that release, or on fully manual settings with a cable release? Are there any error messages reading out on the LCD top panel or in the viewfinder? Are you using an attached flash? What settings are you using?

If it's not functioning, on any settings including manual with film loaded, then it's most lilely in need of a visit to a repair shop to figure out where the issue lies.

But, I'd try new batteries first.

Camera jammed first, when rewinding film, put new film in will not advance film and err message on the led window

The film transport functions on the N90s involve a series of small gears in the bottom of the camera. There may be a damaged gear or possible debris blocking the movement. Replacing any of those components is not really a do it yourself unless you are comfortable working with small screws, about 20 of them. I can guide you further if you are interested

I have a Nikon N90s /film 35mm slr. I haven't

If the switches and contacts are dirty that would do it. If that happens the cost of service may exced the cost of buying a used one.

Nothing happens when I turn the camera on.

First would be to check your batteries. If they are good look inside the battery holder see if there is battery corrosion, if so it should go to Nikon for CLA.

Blank Film Developing

you should have at least 6in. of exposed film from the film canister to the take-up spool unless you loaded the film in total darkness.
open the back cover to make sure the shutter is working, reload and give it another try.

Fitting replacement film door release catch

I suggest you bring the camera to the Canon service rep in your area and for a few dollars you let them do it. This way, if there is any damage they are responsible.

I don't know the answer for your particular model, but in many of these cameras it is possible to easily do colaterol damage when changing parts.
