In case anyone is interested, I ended up taking the camera to a local
repair place and they replaced the mirror release magnet and return
spring. They also calibrated and cleaned the camera. The total repair
price was $207, of which about $20 were for parts.

I have a canon eos-1n that seems to work in all aspects except for the
shutter not working. When I press the shutter release, it shows the
exposure info in the viewfinder and the lens auto focuses. When I press
the shutter release fully, the lens stops down, but nothing else
happens. The top display panel will then flash "bc" as if an error
condition exists, which I suppose is true. :-) This will stop when I
press the shutter release half way again. I have replaced the battery
and also tried firing the shutter without the lens and neither of these
help. I also removed the battery for several days, but this made no
difference (the problem did start after I replaced a dead battery that
was in the camera for several months).
