The main switch assm has probably broken. There are some fixes, but generally replacing the switch base is required. IF the advance lever will only move 1/2 way, this is probably an alignment problem with the advance gears on the bottom. I have a service manual if needed and/or will consider looking at it for you. BTW, there is a metering mod that can be done to show you manual shutter speeds.
