D90 won't focus or take a pic...

Push the button and camera won't focus or take a pic....nothing.

I did the 2 green button reset just now and so far so good, but has anyone else experienced this?

Make sure that the lens is on the smallest possible aperture as without this it wont work - that is the most usual cause of this problem.

It looks more like you've got the" usual " lock up and ERROR message.There are lots of threads on the forum if you search ERROR message.

I don't see how it is possible for you to reach this conclusion when the OP gives an incredibly vague "Push the button and camera won't focus or take a pic....nothing".

How do you know it is a problem with the camera rather than the user, since the OP gave us absolutely no details?

OP - we need more information. Is the lens cap off ;-)? What AF mode are you in? AF-S won't allow you to shoot if you don't acheive focus lock. You also won't be able to achieve focus if you are focusiing on a subject with no contrast.

See what I mean? A few more details would help us to help you.

I agree and I don't mean to be funny.... but is the camera turned on?

Is there a F flashing, if so the lens mount may need adjusting.. just fiddle with the lens and make sure the F stops flashing.. this is a common prob with the d90 apparently

I had this very frustrating problem too and after a lot of time and reading posts, I found its from a slight misalignment of the lens & body. It doesn't take much. Keep the contacts clean & lens locked on solidly. Even clicking on the lenscap after the lens is on camera can cause this.
The contacts must be too small and can easily slide a little off track.
When theres no communication between lens & body.....it freezes up.
