either bad lcd or software corruption.

Fire wire is old and never competed with USB. They may be able to transfer data, but you probably fried your camera. Possibly due to older USB format.

I don't have a manual of the D1 (they are still online for free with Nikon) so In a detail I could be wrong, But when setting up the delay time for monitor off, you can select monitor off. Check n the settings (C5 or so) if you selected a delay time, or accidentally choose for monitor off.

Hi Lynn,I'm also facing the same problem with my D1x and I wanted to know if you were able to find a solution. I'd be grateful for any help.fred.

hello jay... turn it on and go into the menu and find a function called reset. Reset it. then check it out. Generally this reset will solve the problem. That said, if the problem is still there you should not open up the camera mechanism yourself as this will void the warranty. instead, go to nikon.com and involve there service department if it is less that 3 years old. OR take it to your local camera shop for a repair. Joe

The D1x has a 2GB limit. It will not "see" and 8GB card.

You might not believe this but the biggest CF card for that camera was a 128mb. So I'd say it's time for you to update the camera firmware on the Nikon site it's painless and "Free".

Sounds like you have a 10 year old camera but no owner's manual. You can download a copy to your computer from the Nikon website.

Hello

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel after dropping it. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope the advise is useful.

Use a card reader and attach it to your computer, delete all files (hidden and visible) and then format the card in your camera.

There's a number of things this could be.
I'm not a tech nerd, but I do know alot about certain things.
The few things that come to mind would be that somehow your camera is recording at a higher quality than it was before, using yup more space for each picture.

Also what comes to mind would be a similar situation. If you take a photo with alot of information (i.e. Leaves in the fall, with alot of diff. colors) it will take up more space than a plain picture (i.e. a picture of a wall with nothing on it) which again would cause you to run out of room faster.

The last and most likely cause for this would be that your memory needs to be formatted. With all kinds of technology storage, tiny bits of information are stored automatically onto the memory device. This takes up space, usually just a few bytes, but If you don't format very often, then it all could maybe add up. Formatting it might get rid of those unneeded bytes of info and just maybe clear up more space. usually most cameras have a format function in the menu, or you might be able to do it by plugging into the computer. Tell me if this helps :)

Unfortunately, you probably need to take it in to an authorized dealer. If you try to fix it yourself you might void the warranty etc..:( Sounds like some minor mechanical part needs to be replaced:)) Nothing you can really do without the right gear!!! and parts

Did you bring it into a warm environment and expose every square inch to condensation?
