nikon d40x shutter error

[turbo21]

Anybody have this problem before?

i googled and tried the fix and it worked for a day. The fix was to take the bottom cover off and check that the motor wasnt locked up (it wasnt) and advance the gear. it started working right away.

then quit again. i am thinking the motor went bad, wonder if i could find a replacement motor? i really dont want to pay nikon another $150 to fix it with a $2 part.

any thoughts?
