This camera was made in China, and it is the exact same camera as the Minolta X-300. When this happens, either the shutter capacitors have gone bad or the shutter release magnet has become dirty (oily/sticky at the end). Most people replace the shutter capacitors...doing this will deliver a larger bundle of electrons to the magnet release coil and usually make things work again. Can you work on electronics, Andre'? If you can solder carefully, you can replace this. If you need the capacitor, I may have it. Please look in the bottom of your camera and tell me the value.
