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

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

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!

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