E-M1 Olympus Shutter problem

Hi people, I have a problem with my 18 month old E-M1.  Every time I try to take a shot, the shutter stick closed.  The EVF or Rear Display goes black, and nothing will release it, turn off, battery out etc  If I remove the lens, the shutter is right there.. and a light touch will cause it to un-stick, until the next shot.

It has worked flawlessly for 18 months or more since purchasing new.  It has not been ill treated in any way, just normal day to day use, travel and nature photography.

I may have to wait until I return to Australia, very annoying as before heading out on a trip to the UK, fully checked it out for problems, all ok.  Two weeks before checkout, I updated the firmware to 4.0, but seemed ok after that.

Any ideas would be appreciated, i have my GX7 with me, but not the same....

Matix.
