Nikon D50 issues

[Kermit]

Here's the deal. I have an old 2006 Nikon D50 that is having some issues. I've brought it to a sketchy camera repair shop and they said there was nothing they could do (and charged me $25 for the useless diagnosis). I would really like to fix it rather than by new, current Nikon for over $500. The problem is that whenever I turn the camera on, it boots properly, but doest allow me to take pictures. No matter what setting and/or combination of settings I change the camera to, it doesn't click. The lens works fine and I can see through the eye-piece, but when I press the capture button, the picture doesn't auto-focus and doesn't take the picture. If anyone has ever fixed this issue, please share with me... 

 

Thanks,

J.A.B.

 

 

P.S. - Nikon D3300 be like:

Probably you maxed out your shutter actuations, or it just plain broke. Good news is Nikon will fix it, bad news is cost money to ship it, and will cost you probably 200-250 USD to replace the shutter
