I think that Paul's right. The symptoms you describe are well beyond
anything you can do to diagnose besides saying you get extreme over
exposures in all modes. It may not be a sensor problem, but what ever
is wrong in the image processing train isn't something that a user is
likely to be able to fix, even if they had spare parts available if they
could diagnose the problem.

I would guess it's a sensor problem. But it's impossible to say. Time for a
trip to NIkon service.

Hi all,
What do you make of this:
A friend brought her camera to me today, a Nikon D50, which has been
shooting blanks lately. Every photo she takes turns out all white.
No visible traces of the image are there. Just white.
Pretty quickly, I exhausted what little technical expertise I had to
apply to the issue. It happens in all exposure modes, Auto/P/A/S/M.
It happens on different sd cards. Other, older images on the sd card
are visible on the lcd screen upon review. The aperture appears to be
changing as directed. The shutter doesn't appear to be "sticking"
open. I tried underexposing a shot by up to -4 stops... still white.
Google isn't turning up much, either.
Thoughts? I'm guessing her sensor is toast, but what do I know?
Thanks,
-c

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
