When you take off the lens and look into the camera, you can see a lever on the left side, just inside the bayonet. Usually this is in the up position and moves downwards when the depth-of-field button is pressed. The lever could be stuck downward or the operation of the aperture blades in the lens is sluggish. Did you try different lenses?
