Have you tried turning the shutter speed ring to the red 60 or B setting?
These are manual settings that don't require good batteries, so if turning
the ring to one of these settings releases the shutter, then you know you
have dead batteries. If that doesn't work, then you probably have some other
problem.
Hope that helps some,
Darin
