I've got a Nikon D70. When I press the shutter release button the mirror lifts up and stays up. Pressing the shutter release again drops the mirror but with no image recorded.
It is probably the small contacts in the shutter. If they are faulty, the motor will not be enabled for cocking the shutter.
Solution: take out the shutter and clean or replace it. It is not impossible, I have done that a couple of times, but you should get the service manual. It will be a great help. Repair time will be approx 5-7 hours work.
