D7000 Shutter Failure?

Hello all,
After dropping my D7000 I'm pretty sure that my shutter on my D7000 has just failed. ERR is blinking on the LCD. When you take a picture with no lens attached I can see the mirror raise but the shutter does not move. Here is the last photo and now it won't take anymore. DSC_6877.JPG

Pretty certain that this is shutter failure, but before sort it can someone confirm this from the photo, which should be just a grey sky. Also does anyone know of a cost for this repair ( this question is mainly aimed at users from the UK). Lock mirror up is also greyed out but the battery is charged. Presumably this is due to the ERR message. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Dollars to donuts that's a shutter problem.

I'd say you're looking at $200-$300 USD in charges, plus shipping of course. That's a guesstimate based on my working in the Visual Arts department at a college and having had some Nikon repair bills under my belt for things similar. Most likely they'll replace the shutter mechanism but they'll do other things as required like adjusting the mirror angle, the focusing screen, checking out the electronics and so forth.
