This model is not really noted for this problem in the same way as non DX's are so you must be a little unlucky, however info of this nature is quite complex and as such has to be sent to a DIRECT e-mail address as it cannot be accommodated by the site for technical reasons.
Info on cleaning the sensor always being the first thing to try as please note the undermentioned.

- AN IMPORTANT POINT CONCERNING THE MODIFICATION.
The instructions given are really aimed at technically minded people of a
"practical" nature who are acquaint at working on smaller electro-mechanical
devices of a precision nature, or who have a flair for this sort of thing,
and so in the interests of not making the situation any worse I would
strongly advise anyone who does not really come into that category NOT to
attempt this work, as it involves separating the case and the unscrewing the
main circuit board to gain access to the board below it, this requiring the
disconnection of ribbon cables etc, it is also necessary to carry out the
precision soldering of two "very" narrowly spaced PCB pins, so the possession
of a fine tipped soldering iron is also absolutely essential!
Taking the above into consideration the qualification mentioned is really
a MUST!!
It should be emphasised that there are NO shortcuts into getting over this
problem other than what's been aforementioned, and even if the memory reset
does affect a cure it can only be adopted as a stop gap measure as the CPU
could lock up again at some point in time, and unfortunately in many
instances does!!
