Maybe this information is useful for others, so I thought I share it here for reference.

After posting here, I continued to disassemble the camera into all parts:

Full disassembly, broken shutter on lower left side (black "box")

I even disassembled the shutter itself to take a look into it. A short warning: if you plan to reuse it, don't do this. The parts are so small that you can barely assemble them again.

Luckily I found a spare part at ebay from UK, which I got for less then 20€ including shipping to Germany

The reassembling was quite quick, as I did it 2 times already before. I mounted the new shutter on the body first.

then continued with the sensor and the motherboard including cabling:

The camera was reassembled completely in less than 1 hour (had to take photos for documentation).

Once done, I put back the battery, turned on the camera and was amazed to test the new shutter. Everything working well!

Maybe because I tested with my other lens from NX3000, the 16-50mm OIS PZ, there were some image errors on taken photos. The left side had a blue color band on image.

I tried some things: developer menu -> reset factory defaults. Flash new firmware (1.03 to 1.13). After this flash the developer menu is no longer accessible. Not sure which part finally solved the problem, possibly the firmware.

Now the pictures are looking good and I fixed my bought camera by less than 20€ replacement parts and a few hours of investigation and testing.
