My D5000 Does Not Respond To Controls. Live View Screen Went Black.
My d5000 was working fine and then all of a sudden, when I turned it on after charging, the live view screen went black. However, I can still take pictures using the Live View. And so I switched it off, removed the battery and memory card and re inserted etc but still the same - the screen is black. I pressed the reset button by the memory card slot and when I turned it on, a "Clock has been reset" message appeared. I clicked the buttons to set date and time but apparently my d5000 doesn't respond to controls. Now, I can't even take photos even in the Live View. Please help.
