CANON AE-1 Shutter won't go off and film lever stuck.

[tchosjdr]

Decided to take a shot and ask for help on this forum.
My canon Ae-1 shutter won't fire. Battery is brand new. When I press the shutter button I see the light meter working and the test button beeps.
I removed the bottom of the camera and manually made the shutter fire, and then I advanced the film and again, no sign of the shutter.
Does anybody know how to fix it? thank you

Send it to a repair shop. Canon would be my first choice, otherwise someone like United Camera Repair or Precision Camera.

Precision repaired my Olympus E-450. They do all DSLR repairs for Olympus (how mine got sent to them) amongst others. I'd recommend them. Extremely thorough.
