I have the same problem, I have never exposed my camera to harsh conditions, I have treated it like a new born baby from day one, no drops, no knocks, nothing and the thing that really gets me is that it is 20 days out of warranty. Not that that matters as Nikon warranty is only valid for the country the camera was purchased and I bought mine while on holiday in the US. I have just heard back from the repair shop and apparently the main circuit board is blown which has also affected the flash circuit board. Wonderful ! Its going to cost about half the price of a new body to repair it.

I have the same problem with my shutter sticking. I sent it to nikon because it was within the one year warranty. Nikon sent it back and said they will not fix it because it was not a US product. I bought the camera from a shop, brand new, in NY. Not happy at all with Nikon response. Any one know how much this might cost to fix??

The manual (pg 112) simply, and unfortunately, states this message "Press shutter release button again. If error persists, consult with Nikon-authorized service representative".

Some questions that might help: have you had the camera in some extreme conditions, damp, sand, etc. Clean the shutter button really well. Maybe use a small air blower and clean in the shutter release creases.

In the end, if the error continues, it will need to be serviced.

Took my camera to Best Buy (Geek Squad), They sent it off to a camera repair shop. Got a call yesterday. They had to replace the shutter and SQ baseplate unit. Cost $105.41. Thought it would be a lot higher. Better than buying another camera.

This says 8 days old, most of these replies are MUCH older, lol. Can you email me at [email protected] and let me know if you were having the same issue? I took my camera to a local camera shop and they said they don't know what's wrong with it and that I have to send it to Nikon. I can drop it off at Best Buy. I'm about to go buy a new camera (Nikon D5000 because I simply can't be without a camera for however long this will take and Costco has an amazing deal right now) However, I am still in love with my D40x and am hoping I can get it fixed for a decent price that way if I am simply not satisfied with the new camera I can return it. Please get at me, thanks! :)

Hello. I have the D40X myself and I have had success by going into the menu and locating the reset button. What this does is return the camera to the settings that it had the day it came out of the box. Joe

Faulty nikon d40

I had the same error message, the camera is less then a year old, however, I was taking up to 800 pictires every weekend of my kids soccer games, then a 6 month trip to the Pursian Gulf, that is when it started, I got back home, took it right in, and one year later after a few visits and calls trying to find out where my camera was, I finally got an answer back, they said I needed a new shutter which will cost $300, They said I should just by a new body for $400. What Nikon does is set that error message to pop up at about 35000 shutter releases, and you can't do a thing about it, once they hooked my camera up to thier system the said I had over 36000 shutter releases, where the average person takes 10000 a year and they want you to replace the body every 3 years....so before buying any camera, always check out how many shutter releases you can get when you buy a camera
