Check your depth of field preview lever below the lens, I bet it is stuck in preview mode. The lever is pretty tough so try to force all of the way into preview mode and it should snap back into picture taking mode. DO NOT FORCE THE LEVER BACK TO PICTURE MODE! If it releases, you can spray a LLITTLE silicone lube into the lever slot. I hope this works out for you. The T90 is the best film camera body of all the completion.
I don't have a T90 or an FD lens, so can only guess what this means. This is quoted from the T90 manual:
"When you use the stopped-down AE mode with the FD lens, do not push in the stop-down lever with the lens set at the "A" mark. If you do, "E" marks indicating an error will appear to warn you of incorrect operation (EEEE EE in the viewfinder and EEE on the display panel), and the shutter is locked.
In this case, either push in the stop-down lever again to clear the stopped-down AE or remove the lens from the "A" mark. The error display will then disappear."
The stop-down lever is on the lower left front of the camera, and is what is usually now called the "depth of field preview" button. The "A" mark is the setting on the lens for fully automatic aperture control.

Use a tooth pick to open it, if that part of the latch is still there.
Otherwise a utility knife blade in the slot along the back side, Stick it in gently, right above where the release button was, should allow you to slide the door.open.
Check to make sure the replacement battery or batteries are correctly installed. There should be some type of diagram in the plastic or label showing the correct orientation. IF the batteries are correctly installed and the T90 still persists in not operating then remove the batteries and clean all the terminals/connections either with a new rubber on the end of a pencil. I have as much as I hate to admit left batteries in my gear and had to resort to abrasive paper affixed to a new pencil to get down inside the battery chamber to clean the contacts. Also and I hope this is not the case the T90 has an internal battery and if this is dead then I'd suggest sending it to a repair facility. Most service places will clean lub and adjust and replace the battery for about $100.00 and Yes the camera is worth it even today in our digital world

Lin & Daniel, I had the same problem w/ my T90 after years of not using it. But, the T90 is not dubbed the Tank for nothing. The shutter curtains stucked/stacked because of unuse, especially if you hadn't used it for years. Here's what i've done to revived it: I set the shutter speed Tv 500 in Low then hit the carpeted floor while pressing the release button. Try it my friends and let me know. http://cyberman9.multiply.com
