Dec 3, 2021 at 17:55 comment added Rotari Radu Few years later but will comment to save someone's time: D90 is a lot more complicated, you need to disassemble almost whole camera and will need to do some soldering as well. The process is not simple and needs good knowledge about camera functionality.

Dec 29, 2017 at 8:45 comment added Michael C @user71103 I should have typed D60 instead of D90 in the answer. My sincere apologies. It seems the D90 is made differently and must be extensively disassembled to get to the main wheel and clean/oil/repair it. If there isn't an obvious drive wheel (whether red or any other color) beneath the largest cutout in the large metal plate with the tripod socket in its center (use a flashlight to look down in there), then this trick won't work for you. youtu.be/jtH9BbPexlc

Dec 29, 2017 at 5:23 comment added user71103 I have D90 which has the same problem. The shutter stuck at the top. I opened the bottom plate of the camera but couldn't find the wheel as indicated on the picture.
