Hi, My Super A (a.k.a. Super Program, my most advanced camera body at this moment) has locked up today... I made a shot, and advanced the film, but the 'cocked' sign in the display does not show up, and the camera can't be fired. So it seems like either the winding mechanisme locked up half way, or it did wind properly, but the camera doesn't detect this...
I manage to take off the base plate and the top plate, but don't see any obvious problems and I'm not really in to further disassembly, not knowing what to look for. But before I take it to a repair shop (is it still worth a repair? It cost me 90 euro and I know that even an attempt to repair will cost me at least around 70 euro), I'd like to check on this forum if there's no easy way I could solve this. I was thinking of 1. an indication of the part that 'detects' the shutter is cocked (which I think may fail e.g. because of bad electronic contact?) 2. an indication if there's a way to force the camera to release (assuming that it is properly cocked, and which may return it into normal operation) Thanks for any suggestions!
