Hi, I just bought a used Nikon FM for my mom who had hers stolen on her last vacation. She loved it but one week later she returned it to me saying it had...
Hello, here is the list I use when I have to test what is appening at an EM not running, (probably you have already tested all of them). I don't know what Rick...
Thanks Perry, No luck yet. Anyone else have any suggestions? George ... old nikon prisms. It might be the one you need. It is new old stock. It would be worth...
Hello, My EM has this problem. I just hold down the shutter release button, and peck on the prism housing with my knuckle. It works everytime. Sometimes i have...
... Giorgio, What exactly is it doing when you have the body set on B? If the shutter is sticking open, and the shutter release button is depressed, make sure...
Thank you all, expecially Sover. I tried to regulate the courtains tension(disassembly front assembly is too much for me) and sometimes "B" works . Many other...
Hi, I just got a FE2 that jams when I press the shutter release on all speeds except M250 and B. The jammed state is mirror up but not even the first curtain...
Have you tried a fresh battery? Cleaned all battery contacts in the battery compartment? William Sampson http://hometown.aol.com/wdshpbiz/AImod.html [Non-text...
Thanks Bill to be quick to answer. I know this will always be the first answer... :) I measured the voltage of the batteries 3.18v for a couple of 1.55V ...

Hi David, Thanks for your help. I dearly wish it'd be only a battery contact problem... :0) When I got the camera, I looked at the battery chamber. It's super ...
Karim, I'm certainly no FE/FE2 expert, but I've heard there can be problems with the electromagnet that controls the shutter. Sometimes the problem can be...
Thanks William, I had looked at the magnet contacts when I had the shutter mechanism in my hands. They looked very clean. I just wish I did such a simple thing...
It sure sounds like it's a power failure problem. Somehow, some way the power is not getting from the battery to the shutter circuit. William Sampson ...
Hi William, You're right. It seems the electromagnet does not get any voltage. There is a transistor (P23, in the repair manual) that seems OK on its input...
Karim I am not too familiar with the FE2, but I have worked on the FE. A problem such as yours is common on the FE. It is due to a broken "FRE" This is a...
Hi Lou, I'm more familiar with the FE too... :) I'm just discovering the FE2. I do have a specific repair manual though. In fact, there are many differences...
I guess it depends on how 'loose" you mean. Mine really isn't wobbly or loose at all, unless it is extended out all the way and I forcibly try to move the...
Hi, I have a FA and a FE2 that are in need of new shutter blades. I've been told that blades from a F801/N8008 are interchangeable with FA/FE2 blades. Can...
Hi, A big thanks to those who helped me with my problem... I just solved the problem : some joker had swapped 2 wires... The nice side of this is it did not...
