The advance lever is locked in the retracted position. The mirror is in the up position but can be manually locked down by using the lever visible to the left with lens removed. The mirror foam is OK. When shutter release is operated the mirror snaps to the up position but shutter does not fire. The rewind button is locked in the up position and will not return when back is opened. I have tried turning the sprocket shaft manually to simulate film transport. It turns freely but still no solution to problem. Can this be related to battery condition or circuit? Please help. Thank you. Richard.
