I don’t need my camera fixed but i do need my lens fixed
The autofocus does not work on my Nikon 600mm f/4E FL VR
I’ve checked all settings, all teleconverters and all cameras that i own, it’s 100% the autofocus on the lens that is not functioning correctly. I suspect the contacts are somehow worn out or defective. Everything was working well then all of a sudden the autofocus stopped out of nowhere.

I haven’t done much research yet due to my current busy schedule but i’m not sure if i require 99.9% (if that even exists) isopropanol or some other type of special cleaning solution.
I only have 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol at home but a bit worried to try it on a very expensive lens before I decide to send it in for service back to Nikon.

Please help

Thank you kindly
