Pentax ME Super
I had not used camera in a couple years. I pressed shutter release and tried to advance the film winder. The winder has stopped and winder advance handle is now loose. Mirror is stuck in up position. I can lowever mirrow by pushing on the tab inside, but it just returns to up posiotn when I release the tab.
I have replaced the batteries and left the camera with the lens cap off (which hd worked in the past when Ihad similar problem), but it still does not release.
Any suggestions?

Does the film advance lever lock in place when the lever is returned ? if not, the lock spring broke. This is a common weak point in the ME Super. the camera must be partially disassembled to be repaired. get a cost estimate first. there are no new parts for this model Pentax.
I am having the same problem, and the advance lever locks with mine.
