I've broken my D40. I dropped it off a shelf about 30cm above the (concrete) floor and now the mirror is flipped up and doesn't come back down. FFS

Technical geniuses of /p/, is it even remotely possible to take this to a photo store and having it fixed somehow? Can't find my warranty D:

Certainly possible. Mirrors die after a while anyway, so replacing one's a reasonably common repair.

You should still be able to get professional quality shots with the mirror locked up.

Yay! Was talking to a friend about it earlier and he was all "seems very unlikely", so this gives me some hope. I'll drop by a store and hear the details tomorrow. Thanks :D

Certainly don't throw away. I've been trying to buy a broken D50 for parts on eBay and they're going for over $100 each. D40s will probably go for similar amounts. It'll get you a little bit of the way towards a shiny new D80, if nothing else.

MEH, OP here.
Called the only Nikon service center in this country, they say I'm probably better off buying all new gear. wtf...

Permanent mirror lock up? In all seriousness tho, LOL THIS IS WHY YOU KEEP THE STRAP AROUND YOUR NECK AT ALL TIMES.

As a D40fag.
Sell it for parts and use what spare money you have to buy a canon.
