The Nikon Coolpix 3500 is a beautiful camera for easily taking 16-megapixel photos and Full HD videos, even in difficult lighting. This camera can have occasional issues, one of which includes the camera not turning on. If your Nikon Coolpix 3500 is not turning on and you have tried charging it, or even replacing the battery, then the motherboard may be your issue. Please visit Nikon Coolpix 3500 Battery Replacement for more information on battery replacement.

The motherboard is commonly known as the “main board”. It is the part of many devices that essentially connects all the different bits of the device in one big circuit.

This repair could be challenging for beginners. It is recommended to have some assistance from someone with experience with motherboards. Detaching the wiring is the most involved task in this repair, but iFixit believes in you. If you are struggling with this repair, or finding that the instructions are not clear, iFixit encourages you to reach out to our Answers Forum.
