Lens not working

I would NOT try to disassemble a modern lens. I've taken apart old, mechanical (60s, '70s vintage) lenses and repaired them, but there were no electronic contacts, focus motors, microchips or anything else. Unless you have access to a major camera-repair facility, I'm 100% sure they'll send it back to Nikon for repair.

Well..I called Nikon and they said to send it to them. In the mean time..searching up and down for a warranty..I guess my packing wasn't as good as I thought because I can't find it anywhere..boooooo. Either way I'm going to have to send it away..although if it costs more than a new one - I guess a new one will be purchased.

Thank you for the help everyone! I just hope it wasn't because I did something wrong!

Very unlikely.

Well, my husband took it upon himself to send an email to Nikon and explaining the problem, how we moved 4X in the last year and can't find the Warranty Slip/Purchase Receipt.

We got a reply back saying to send the lens to them and they will look at it as if it was a gift purchase (which it was from my husband to me) and treat it as if the Warranty was sent! I should be fine if the problem is covered under warranty!!!

Now that was nice news yesterday. Makes me happy for purchasing the Nikon brand
