Any suggestions on where to send my Nikon D7200 for repair? The knob on the top left of the camera, both the top and bottom knob, has frozen up.

Unfortunately, you are probably going to have to select from one of the suggested independent service shops for repairs. There are now only two "authorized" Nikon service centers in the US, one on Long Island and one in southern California. But the bigger problem with NikonUSA's service is that they have adopted the Sony support model...only current and one previous model is supported (the D810 will go out of support with introduction of the next "equivalent" model (possibly the Z8?). Also...all parts inventory is now maintained in Japan. Both of my last two repairs (one camera, one lens) had to wait for fairly common parts to come from there.

My local camera shop maintains a 'boneyard' of donor equipment to supply repair parts. They are also part of a national network of dealers and shops who operate a sort of "co-op" parts supply system. They also told me in the course of discussion that the cost of these used parts is rapidly increasing as they have quickly become a scarce resource.

I know you said you don't believe any parts are needed but you might want to call Nikon directly. They were pretty helpful when my nikon d800 stopped working. I took it to the only repair shop near enough to me (2 hours away)
The guy at the shop said he would not bother sending it in for repair unless he knew there were parts to be had. He had me call Nikon directly to see if parts were still being made. Nikon told me parts hadn't been made for a year and they were pretty sure there wasn't much in stock. I gave up on my 10 year old camera with more than 180000 actuations for a new mirrorless.
I had an opposite problem with my top button. It wouldn't stay locked and I would often end up accidentally going from single shot to continuous to mirror up etc. What a pain.

Just wonder if a tiny amount of something like wd40 or ?? would do the trick .It is safe on plastic .

Don't use WD-40 as a lubricant on your camera! It will do more damage than help with your issues. It's primarily used to dissolve rust and displace moisture. Although it does have some lubricating properties, it was not formulated as a lubricant.

I have used these folks to repair both Nikon cameras and lenses over the last 15 years. They were the main Nikon repair service in the Chicago area. I would call them.

Hi. My name is Rick. I’m the owner and lead technician at Discount Camera Repair and a member in good standing here at the UHH. I’ve been doing repairs for other members here at greatly discounted rates and would be glad to help.

I'd be more than happy to repair the camera for you and keep the cost as low as possible. If you’re interested, please respond by private message.

OMG, WD-40 is NOT a lubricant.

WD 40 is a brand now, not just the product we are familiar with. The post you reponded to said, "for electronics".

Yes, I'm familiar with the different WD-40 products. I was referring to the original and best known product, good old WD-40. Anyone who uses that on a DSLR or MILC as a lubricant is opening up a can of problems they probably don't want to deal with.
