Hi guys!

I was taking photos of my 2 month old daughter, and suddenly my D90's shutter sound stopped.
I pressed shutter button again, and it feels like the motor tried to move, but couldn't. Sounds like something is whirring.
So, I took off the lens, and found out that the mirror was stuck halfway, as per attached photo. sad.gif

I would like to try to DIY fix this first. Any idea/suggestions, please?
If really cannot, only will send to camera shop to fix.

Thank you in advance! notworthy.gif

I imagine you have already tried wiggling the mirror yourself. Better to just send it in for fix.
