Nikon D5100 Error, release shutter button again when pressing life mode button?

Ive searched over the whole google, the problem is that the mirror is stuck? So the live mode cannot be launched. The camera shoots photos like always, but i cannot launch live mode due to this error. I have not a clue, i removed the lens, nothing is broken but i cannot enter live mode. This issue appeared all of sudden without reason and while ive found that its only some par ts that must be moved, i cannot be sure what should i do. Heading to Nikon is not an option for me as im not into paying a bunch of money to them for something that many people fixed on the web. Whoever knows what is that error and can help me without telling me accusations that i dont wanna pay is welcome.

Using a nikon sb700 flash/led light with Westcott 7 Feet white/black umbrella? - 1

The sb700 obviously used for photography.
Anyway, I also own an LED light kit with 600 led bulbs. It seems pretty bright when lit up. I have ordered a Westcott 7 Feet umbrella with the white interior and black exterior.
My question then is, will any of these light sources be powerful enough to achieve an effective lighting with this umbrella considering it has the white interior?

Here are the links to the led light kit and umbrella I am talking about:

Light kit - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ATTY…

Umbrella - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QEV…

-These will NOT be used at the same time.
For video I will use the led light and for photography I will use the flash.

- For photography it will be for portraiture or a small space, including a person.
- For video it will a similar situation.
Bottom line, it will not be used to light up an extremely large area, like a hallway, but more like part of a large room (video), or just a small staged area (photography).

I am aware that this may be up to me to test the equipment, but if for some reason any of these are not powerful enough, please recommend me light sources that are great quality but affordable.

Thanks. :)

Would these books tell me more than the manual?

i have seen a lot of photography books on Amazon on how to use and get the most of the Nikon D7100 ("Mastering the D7100" Nikon D7100 for dummies etc) but would they tell me more than the manual?

i already know what all the buttons do

so should i pick up one of those books or just stick with the owners manual?

Change a Sigma lens mount myself?

Is it possible to buy a Sigma lens with a canon or nikon mount, and then switch out to a sony/minolta mount?

I was just wondering if anyone has tried this - without using the rather expensive Sigma conversion service.
