I had the same problem. I sent my camera to the Nikon Service Center. They fixed it within three days. They actually replaced the whole aperture frame. FREE OF CHARGE AS LONG WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD.

Hi...i have the same problem.....
My camera haven't warranty (in Europe the warranty is 2-years)...

so....I try!!!

I pulled off all the screws on the bottom of the camera...then I removed the bottom of the camera.
After this I found a little red wheel....I moved a little with the screwdriver and then the shutter moved again.........
