Unloading the Film
When I was coming to the end of my film, out of the blue the film rewind knobdid not move when i pushed the rapid wind lever. And the sound it made indicated that the film is not winding either although I'm sure it had worked perfectly fine before. And when I unloaded the film by turning the film rewind crank, the rewind indicator did not flicker as it's suppose to. Please tell me that I didn't lose any of my pictures, it'll be a while before i get it developed, and why is it doing that? (it had happened before)

Anniehongx,
open the film door and charge the shutter. are the drive and take up sprockets turning? if they are then the film was not loaded properly. be sure to push enough film leader into the take up spool bars.
if the spools are not turning then a gear or spring ( advance lever return lock ) is broken.
there are no new parts for the ME Super however some camera repair shops have good used parts that can be used. get an estimate first.
