I have the same problem.. I wonder if the service recall from 2006 covers it?

Nikons, Canons and other digital cameras were made with Sony ccd or sensor. These had problems. Canon and Nikon have been good to repair most of the cameras I sent with the problem.
If sand, water, or other problems are detected such as a hard impact, they will not cover it.
Here is the link to Nikon's advisory.

If you can see the menu, and no picture in record modes, then the ccd is probably the problem.
For other cameras search on the Internet with key words like the brand of the camera and include "ccd advisory".
