I decided to shoot some pics on my old but mint C35. Replaced the battery and it sprang to life; needle moves with light sources. Great! Focus is clear and sharp. Again, great! Now, with the back open and shutter tripped, no light through the shutter. Did this several times with no luck. It's been in a ziplock bag in my office closet for about a year. With the back open, and using a toothpick, I very carefully tried to open the shutter, but no luck. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of removing the bottom and placing a drop of lighter fluid to what I think opens the shutter and check to see if if a spring has popped off or something. I'm open to all suggestions.

If all the electronics are ok , It could be the blades are stuck from migrating lubricant. The only answer is to completely clean shutter blades.This entails removing the glass surfaces...Don
