I had the same thing happen to my MZ-5N. I put it on eBay, body only boxed with
description of the fault, and it went for £35 to someone who wanted to repair
it.

Subject: A short whimper
So I got out my ZX-5n to show my dad while we were discussing cameras last
night -- and the shutter isn't working.
Tried different batteries and so on. Just a very unwholesome whirring sound
whenever I powered the camera on or off.
Got a repair quote today.
But having to face reality and logic and facts and all that, I reluctantly
conclude that I can't spend that kinda money fixing a camera I don't ever
use
any more. I hardly ever shoot film and when I do, the PZ-1 or the LX would
be
my choices ahead of the ZX-5n.
Nor would I ever get that kind of money out of selling it, once fixed.
I enjoyed it for several years, though.
Oh well.
