I decided to have one last-ditch attempt and decided to use the cable 
release to see if that worked, which it did!!! It was then clear that it was 
a stuck shutter button which was freed by pulling up on the release, and all 
is now well. Whether a little grain of dirt had got in there I don?t know, 
but camera is now as right as rain, and so is my blood pressure.
