The double release/double advance latch gets no feedback from the shutter (as on some other cameras like the Konica Auto-S2). You can check whether the slider which is linked to the advance shaft moves after removing the bottom plate. When removing the front lens cell and some of the rings there should be a shaft approx. in the 7 o'clock position which should turn as you move the advance crank. BTW did you check whether the self timer lever is in its normal position? Sometimes it happens that the self timer is jammed in the cocked position (there are some plastic cog wheels in the self timer gears), and the shutter won't fire when the self timer did not run. However in this case you should see a very minor movement of the shutter blades.
