I recently dropped my Nikon D40X from a fairly good height, nothing is damaged from my understanding, the lens is intact, shutter is perfectly fine, but I realized afterwards every single one of my photo's that I try to take, turns out EXTREMELY dark! I read some articles and it said to reset the camera settings, well when I do it, it dosen't really affect anything, and I try to go into manual mode to change the aperture and the shutter, and it won't let me change anything, it stays in auto.
Does anybody know a solution, or solution(s) that I can try to fix my camera by myself? Or would I have to take it in to get looked at?
-   Was using the camera. Betweek two photos, about a minute apart, all pictures in AUTO or non Aperature (A) Priority mode come out dark with the flash. Ideas?-   wessuess

came across this after i had just recieved my camera back from Nikon getting fixed. I had the same problem. They replaced my aperature control unit and now my camera works wonderfully again.
You will need to send it to Nikon to get the camera checked out - there is nothing user-serviceable that you can do.
Basically, you have broken it. Take more care with your expensive toys... use the strap, buy a silicone jacket, etc.

I actually ran into Error! press the shutter release again. And I read in some forum that this could be board problem. I opened the camera and turned the red wheel a little and this would help as long as camera is open. As soon I fix the camera covers back in place, the error re-appears. Now I think this is a board problem and I need to change it. how much would a motherboard of d40x cost.
