Are you aware of a service advisory for the D70?

After not using my camera for a few months, I could not get it to work. After searching for an hour on the Nikon site, I came across an advisory for this camera. This is the from the site:

"It has come to our attention that select electrical components in a limited number of D70 cameras may, in some instances, fail affecting camera performance and/or operability.

While only a limited number of D70 cameras are affected by this advisory, if (1) when a memory card is inserted, your D70's memory card access lamp blinks, locking camera operations and preventing operation, or (2) with no memory card inserted, the camera will not turn on despite the battery indicator showing a fully charged battery, Nikon Inc. will service it free of charge.

To obtain complimentary service for cameras affected by this advisory, please click the link below to download and print the Service Return Form. The Service Return Form provides return instructions.

The Frequently Asked Questions button at the bottom of this page offers more information about this advisory and, should you have more questions, also provides information about how to contact Nikon.

We apologize for any inconvenience you may experience."

this is the exact problem i had. I sent my camera off today and i'll let you know how responsive they have been.

My big question is: Did Nikon contact any of you about this??? I may have sent it for repair and not known that this was their problem. I love Nikon, but am pissed not to know about this.

Usually, product advisories are posted on the website, much like this one is. It may have been possible to receive it via email, but I can't comment if it's Nikon's policy to do so. You just need to check the site often when you experience an issue.
