This is the tripods and monopods forum, perhaps you would have more luck posting in the camera lenses forum. Hope this helps

There are (2) common (non-terminal) issues that cause this problem. 1) the contacts inside the camera have become oxidized...., using the eraser on the end of a pencil..., rub (clean) the contacts inside the cameras battery compartment. 2) Modern Li-Ion batteries often last only (3) years...,(if you have good ones)...., so what happens is that as the batteries reach the end of their life span they quite often will work one day and not the next (but show that they are fully charged). Thus if you only have the (1) battery, you will not know if it is the battery, the charger or the camera. Go to your local camera store (with your camera & battery) and see if they are willing to put a new battery in your camera..., if it powers up it's your battery or charger. ask if they will then try to charge your old battery on their charger for 1/2 an hour..., this is enough of a charge to find out if your camera will turn on using the old battery. Now you must ask yourself, if I need to purchase a new battery of charger..., is it worth it.

Remove top cover. Make sure shutter speed dial is connected with contacts.

You can download a PDF of many Nikon camera manuals from nikonusa.com -check under support. If it is no longer available search the internet for N6006 manuals or check eBay (this camera is close to 20 years old). There are a number of people who sell manuals for old cameras

E indicates empty. try resetting the camera. Pus both the rewind buttons (plus/minus button by release button and bracket button on side of mirror box). Push them at the same time. Let the camera run until it stops (just a few seconds). This resets the camera. Then try loading the film again. Make sure the leading edge of the film isn't bent and is the edge is within the red rectangle under the take up spool. It should then load the film. Note: the N75 pulls all the film out of the cassette and then rewinds it back I one shot at a time until you reach '0'.

The N65 uses two CR2 batteries. If you need a manual, you may download a copy from http://www.butkus.org/chinon/nikon/nikon_n65/nikon_n65.htm

The Nikon F90 (known as the N90 in the United States) was manufactured between 1992 and 2001. At one time Nikon manufacture codes had the month as the first digit and the year next which would make your camera a February 2000 model but I don't know if they still use this format. I couldn't find any info on the web either.

Hello Blair, I too like old school camera, mine are the N2000, N6006, N80, and F100. First without film in the camera I would attempt to release the shutter. If it does then there is something going on with the film transfer causing a bind. However, If it continues not to release the shutter I would put the FM10 on the shelf then go to KEH.com for another. Just now checked KEH.com, 2014-05-26, a FM10 in EX condition is $89, EX+ condition $99. That would be a much better move than repairing yours and less expensive. Cordially

Advance Motor gear(s) needs replacement

Hello Anonymous, With each shot this camera auto advances the film. Maybe, when the film door is closed the film is not seated properly all to the right side. Thus the take up reel is not pulling the film. Being as the N65 appeared in 2000, it is possible it may be stoved-up. Also, if so these are not worth fixing. For the cost of fixing I would look for a N80; a very nice camera much improved over the N65. Cordially,

Top cover needs to be removed to fix it.

You must press the two side switches harder. Push in first, then pull out. [email protected]

Release switch needs to be repaired

The Nikon N65 has a built-in film advance (power winder) so all you need to do is take a photo and it should advance. If no, the film isn't loaded properly or the drive is broken.

ebay is your friend, most any part can be found there

Turn the setting in the drive mode ( Top cover LCD Panel ) from C to S This mode with only let you take one shot at a time as you lift you finger up and down on the release button.

That is a problem with either old film or poor processing. Unless you're using a filter on your camera lens, colors like that are related to unstable film or poor/contaminated film processing.
