Nikon D40x Dies – Error. Press shutter release button again.

27 Dec

So my Nikon D40x decided to die on me while covering an event. Luckily the main pieces of the night were captures by this point. I get a message reading : Error. Press shutter release button again. After several google searches I saw that it means the shutter must be replaced. If anyone has an easy fix, please let me know

    Don’t know if you still are looking to fix this or still care but I just fixed my D40 giving the same problem this morning.

    How much did it cost to repair? Who did you send it to? Mine gave the same error message and I’m wanting to keep it as a backup camera like you did.

    This has happened to my D3100, I’ve got a photography exam next week at college, anyone got any advice or know what causes it?

    luckily i had 5 days left on an extended warranty from J&R… they replaced the shutter at no charge!

    I had just bought a SB900 Flash….which I had to return right away for a D5000 body….the d40x took 3 weeks for them to get back to me. It became my back up camera.  Since then I have traded in the D5000 for the D5100. I recommend EXTENDED WARRANTY EVERYTIME!

    What did you do to fix your D5000? I’m about to open mine up now.
