Shutter lock can stay the same or worsen. Most severe case obviously is shutter
lock every time you try to take a picture. Adjustments and settings within the
camera are very precise, especially in the shutter levers that initiate shutter
firing / and shutter lock.
You cannot diagnose these yourself. I do it for a living, and have since 1977
if you are interested.
You can ship the camera to me and I will fax or mail an estimate to you.
