18-105 autofocus died?

[littlemonster]

A couple of months ago I noticed my autofocus on my 18-105 I got with my D90 seems to have died, it's out of warranty , and it's not my main short lens but was handy as a backup. It will sometimes when I've tested it focus at between about 18-35mm range but this starts and stops.

I know this is a long shot but any chance there's any potential fixes for it? My other lenses are all working fine so it's 100% the lens, have checked I had switches and all the basic idiot stuff, no damage I can see and there was no event like a drop before it stopped working.


Just wondering if anyone has any ideas Thanks!

Try cleaning the contacts with the appropriate alcohol on both the camera and the lens? If that doesn't work, have a look up online at inspection tests and do those in order to troubleshoot?

Other than that I'd say get a pro to evaluate it!
