FS (US) non-working Nikon D40x for parts

Nikon D40x body, looks great, but is only for parts. Here are the 2 known issues:

1. After taking a photo in any mode, the lcd says error, press shutter. An image gets written to the sd card, but top third of image is blacked out.

2. Looking at it with mirror lock up, it looks like the bottom (top of image) 1/3rd of shutter has become disconnected at a corner, and is loose, not taut.

So this is for parts use only, though if it doesn't sell, I'm tempted to use it in 16:9 mode, as it does meter and focus (center modes help ;)).

$50 as is, for parts only, no returns, US only, plus USPS Priority Mail. Includes Body cap, box and manual, and yellow/black Nikon strap, if I can find them. 2 3rd party batteries, and Nikon battery charger.
