300MM PF VR stopped working

Jimusny said:

I had this happen a bout 6 months ago but suddenly started working again after reseating a few times and power off and ons.. been OK since but yesterday it stopped again, it does starts for a second sometimes then stops.. but pretty much does not come on at all.. would this have anything to do with the contacts posssibly being not making or dirty, or is it all internal..

Also this lens is a little over 2 years old, I looked at Nikon site and it says warranty is 1 year plus 4 years extended.. so that extended is automatic? or something you have to purchase.. I registered it online when I got it

Sounds like the camera contacts are not connecting with the lens correctly. Just try cleaning the connections on the camera and especially the lens.

Rattling is not unusual in these modern lenses. VR elements floating about. Don’t get too vigorous ;-)

May I suggest that you photograph your lens before returning it to Nikon? So that in future you can verify for yourself whether there had been impact damage.
