Firstly, I agree with @buddingphotographer that unless repairing cameras is your hobby, it’s probably not worth it
Caveat: this is a guess, from limited knowledge.

I’m not even sure if I know what you mean by a “aperture leaver” being in an up or middle position.
I don’t know if this is what @parrisfamily is referring to, but unlike Canon aperatures, which are electronically controlled, Nikon lenses have physical lever (on the back of the lens, see picture) that the camera moves back and forth to open and shut the aperture.
@parrisfamily mentions that the lever was stuck in the middle, but as you can see, it ought to be to one side (keeping the aperture snapped shut by default). He also mentions that he’s had the problem since he used a Sigma lens on it, which, he mentions, didn’t work well. I wonder if the lens was damaged, and, as he theorizes, damaged the camera.
If that (or the corresponding unit on the camera body) were what was damaged then it could (potentially) cause weird problems.
Do your lenses work on other bodies?
