Nikon D90 GPS Connector
|
The GPS connector for the Nikon GP-1 GPS may not work or may intermittently work. I fixed the problem myself and saved $200 in repair costs or more. (and I did not need to send my camera away for weeks of repair time). Note that this may or may not work for you and it might just be a temporary fix. Here is how to do it... Just cut a small strip from a credit card (a credit card is the perfect thickness that you will need). Then shove that credit card strip between the metal connector of the GPS socket and the body of the camera. That forces the connector to compress and make a tight fit. NOTE: If you cannot insert the credit card strip, use a small jewelers scewdriver to pry the metal connector away from the camera body, thus creating enough space for the card. Be gentle to avoid damage.

Cut a small strip from a credit card about 3/4" long and 1/8" wide.
