My R8 is totally dead- any suggestions?

My late-production R8 (2001) is displaying blank frame count (00), leaks light and gives blank frames (the shutter fires, but the mirror stays in down position) from time to time. The body definitely feels less sturdy than Nikon F5 and F6 and also is less reliable. The metering is not so sophisticated as in Nikon or Pentax bodies from the 90's too. I wouldn't believe most people's opinions as some photographers (or shall we say "collectors"?) never go past the honeymoon phase with these cameras. Are R8/R9 good cameras? Yes. Are they the best of the best? No, by a mile.
