My Nikon D40 Digital Camera's auto focus keeps running when I push the button halfway but never focuses and then I cannot get it to take the pucture. When I push the button all the way nothing happens.

If I switch the lens to Manual mode, it works fine. But in Auto Focus mode, the camera can't focus on any object and slowly goes in and out of focus.
