There is one common cause you might want to check before sending it back. You may have had a misload, broke off a small chip of film and have this film chip get stuck in the shutter's path. Take off the lens, open up the back and give it a very close look. If you do not see anything, fire the shutter at "B" and keep the shutter release depressed (a locking cable release is handy here) and look again. If you find a chip, CAREFULLY extract it with a small pair of tweezers.
