My Nikon D40 shutter stucked (dead)

It's a dark day for me. After having the Nikon D40 for more than 10 years, it finally reach its age and died.

Until this day, I was still learning photography skill and trying to figure out on how to take better street photography. I was checking the the zone focusing in the living room and all the sudden, the shutter just stucked and an error shows up in the back screen.

Trying to fix it by myself and unfortunately, I reached to the conclusion that it needs a service. The service itself may cost more than the camera value so I guess it ends here.

Sad.

I have built some emotional attachment to this camera because it's an amature camera and it has its own limitation.

Base ISO 200. Max Shutter Speed 4000. AF only works on AFS lens. One wheel dial.

I have work my way around those and able to get some good shot that I really proud of.

I'm going to miss it alot but I will move on.
