Looking at the block diagram for the F3D (sorry I do not have a F3 only but I don't think the differences would be drastic), the control switch block connected to the same flex as the RTC battery. Try to check it, and replace the battery.

@petekraak I always forget about those darn shutters and keep thinking that there is an error message that would be specific to a shutter error. good thing our camera Guru @nick keeps his eye open. Anyhow, here is the SM [document|31831] for the disassembly of a NEX-F3D/F3K/F3Y model which should be very similar to yours[br]
