Hi all,

 

I have a D5300 that has started exhibiting the infamous "shutter error".  All the instructions I find online to correct the problem show removal of a base plate to get to the shutter gear but apparently, the screws to remove the D5300 are totally different from prior camera models and I have yet to find any diagram or description of where all the base plate removal screws are on a D5300. 

 

If anyone out there has done this or has something they can point me to so I'll know how many screws to remove and where they are - I'd appreciate the input.

 

Thanks!

Think I found it - looks like a LOT bigger deal than with prior camera models - see this link:
