My camera taking black pictures.

Out of curiosity, is the mirror popping up when you hit the shutter release?

Yes

What about with NO lens?

What could be the problem?

I would not send it in just now. I don't think you've exhausted all your options that are user-accessible.

First: Do that reset. Also; do you have a spare battery? If not, charge that battery fully before you go much further.

Secondly; has this suddenly occurred? IOW: What about the other photos you have taken? Scroll through the photos that are on this card. Are they normal?

Thirdly; Set everything manually. Turn the top dial to M. Turn off the flash, set the ISO to 100, set the WB to "daylight", set the shutter speed to 1/100 second, set the aperture to f/16, and go outside (in the daytime) and take a photo.

If you still get no photo, swap out the SD card. Format the new card in the camera. Try the newly-formatted card.

Don't sent it in until everyone here has given up. Sending it in costs money, and will take time.

Or with a different lens. It could be the aperture on the lens is not opening.

That can easily be seen when looking into the lens and clicking the shutter.

I was not aware that the apertures actually went completely closed.

They don't. But if they stay at minimum aperture regardless of the setting chosen, there's an issue.

1)Switch off, remove the lense.
2)Check if the mirror is stuck. If yes then it needs to be sent for a repair. Do not try to fix it by applying force.
3)If the mirror is not stuck, then try the camera with a different lense.
4)If no difference, try to reset the camera.
5)If it does not help, probably it is a stuck shutter. Is your screen black?
6) To check it, put the camera in video mode. The screen should be still black but the sound should be recorded.
7) If that is the case, put it to manual with min shutter speed. When (if) shutter stays open for a while, knock the camera with your hand to unstuck it. Try it several times, do not try to hit it hard.
8) If it does not work, it needs to be repaired by a specialist.
6)Before sending for a repair: Remove the battery and leave the camera with no battery overnight, then reset. Highly unlikely this will work but sometimes a glitch in the software makes it stuck as well. Very rare though.
7) Take the above with a pinch of salt. I am not in camera repair business. Everything you will do is at your own risk. But that is all possible causes I can think of with this Nikon. Good luck.

Isn't the D610 a disposable camera ?
