The camera house seen here is as it should be. I don't have any pictures of the problem, but i have illustrated it with the arrows. The small rubber dot was stuck on the side of the camera mirror.
-
I used a wooden rod (a soft material) to lift the mirror with very low force while trying to take pictures (The camera will try to open the mirror)
-
While slowly increasing the force to help open the mirror while still trying to take pictures the mirror released.
-
After reattaching the lens, see step 1. The camera worked 100% fine again :)

If the force you have to use become to large, contact Nikon to get a professional fix.
