I don't know what part of MD your in but there's Service Photo on Falls Rd in Balto.
They could not repair on site but would send to Nikon for repair. Why pay the middle man just for sending it out and it would take about a month.

Did not recommend a "spray." A small, single drop would do, it's exactly what it's designed for. Remember, "If it moves and shouldn't - duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, WD-40."

WD-40 was not designed specifically as a lubricant and is not nearly as good a lubricant as those that were designed specifically as a lubricant. If your camera is in need of something like WD-40, you are possibly not taking care of it as well as you should.

You have no idea how well I take care of my camera.

You are correct, I truly have no idea how you care for your camera gear, and I really don't care.
On the other hand, I am very familiar with WD-40, why it was created and what it's primary function is.
I have been into photography since I was in highschool, and I'm retired now. I have owned several film cameras and over 30 digital cameras, and in the 50+ years I've been doing photography, I've never once used WD-40 on one of them, and I have a can in the garage and in the basement.
You do realize we are talking about a liquid that was originally formulated to displace moisture and penetrate rust. Most folks generally avoid exposing their expensive precision made cameras to excess moisture, and rust.
Also, as WD-40 was never intended to be a general purpose lubricant, and there are lubricants specifically designed for precision equipment, like cameras, lubricants that are way, way better at lubricating than WD-40, why would anyone use WD-40 on a camera?!
