What does the linkage to the left of the magnet do? Mine is over to the right compared to yours keeping the magnet stuck and the film advance won’t move and the shutter won’t fire

How do you open the bottom of the camera?

Can anyone help - I did this trick and it worked for all of a few hours before getting stuck again. This time no matter how frequently I move the piece, the advance is still stuck

Great video. This works!

Thank you, worked like a charm!

I am SO glad I found this video! I have looked everywhere trying to fix this issue and was about to just give up on this camera! Such a simple fix - the hardest part was getting the small screws back in. Thank you!!!

This definitely helped but mine kept getting stuck again right after... it is because the film is not loaded in?

Good video, but sound is too low and of poor quality. It's muddy.

just saved our camera too, thanks!

I've been to a lot of flea markets and it seems that the sellers who are selling their Canon A-1, I noticed that this was the constant issue that I encountered when I try to do the advance film lever and the lever seems to be stuck. So I assume that the battery makes the mechanism to unlock itself then. Thanks.

Thanks worked for my av1

Amazing, it worked great

This helped me thank you so much! However it keeps getting stuck again. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening again?

mine released but still the same

Thanks, had exactly same problem, followed and fixed it quick thanks to your vid. Cheers

You just fixed my camera thank you so much !!!

Tanks for the video! In my case your fix releases the lever but the shutter button is "soft" and doesn't take pictures. Maybe it's the battery issue or dirty magnets...

thank you!

Thank you! Just found this video. Have had my A1 since 1984.

Hello, with that problem it happened to you that the photometer marked E instead of the aperture and speed data? like this in capital letters EEEE EE

Oh my goood I gave up hope on my camera but this was so easy to fix!! thanks a lot :D

i have a canon av 1 with the same problem, i took it apart but the interior isn’t the same, can anyone help me?

I have the same problem with my F1N. I keep on advancing the shutter lever by the shutter curtain keeps on returning back; hence, the cocking procedure is taking forever! How can I fix that nagging problem? Thanks in advance!

thank you very much

Wow. Thanks!!!!

If you’re a noob to film cameras like me, make sure that your shutter is released first when you pick up your camera. All you do is press the shutter release button as if you’re taking a picture. When my camera arrived, the shutter was already loaded to take a pic; meaning the previous owner had already winded the advance lever so I had to “take the pic” to fix the stuck advance lever problem. I had no idea about this so it was driving me crazy for a bit lmao it could all be so simple

$55.00 a bargain for Canon A1.

This helped me but the plastic case looks broken on mine and so it gets stuck everytime I advance the lever. Probably gonna have to take it somewhere.

You are a life saver.

Thank you!!! :)

Thank you so much it really help me. Thank you again

I was really desperate after a couple hours of trying to fond the error and this was it! Thank you so much :D

Thank you!

Thanks a lot !

thank you so much man

Lol!!! Thank you so much this was all I needed to do!!! You rock!

I'm just after checking this on an AE-1 that was sitting on a shelf for about 10 years and it seems to have fixed it. Ready to load in some film now. Thanks for the video.

Thank you thank you thank you

And replacing the shutter brakes will fix rhe zing

This actually worked! Thank you! Mine's film advance lever got stuck and if I press the shutter button the LED in the viewfinder just shows EEEE EE. This was actually very simple and straight to the point so that I can do it my self without spending money to have it fixed at a store. So after doing it once, I did notice that the film advance lever gets stuck again. What I did was reopen that bottom plate and kept advancing the lever and pressing the shutter button a couple of times for a few minutes, just checking to see if it gets stuck again and releasing the wire if so. I then returned the bottom panel back then tried shooting and so far its still working. Hopefully it will continue to do so until I test it using a film in the future. Hope this helps!

thank you so much, this video helped a lot!

I think I have the same problem but cant pull the lever back, has somebody an idea?

My part has been stuck so long it seems to have become magnetized, anyone know how to demagnetize it?

thank you!!!!!

Fixed mine! Thanks so much!

Worked for me, but it did it again after a few minutes. Might be a battery issue, even though it's new. I took it out and put it back in and it worked, so I might have to do that regularly. Anyone got the same issue?

This worked immediately then got stuck again, won't even let the shutter release. :( 🤔

When I did it, the shutter opened but won't close, winder still stuck 😅 Now my A1 is lying at the camera hospital

Thank you! My camera is now fixed

Amazing! Thank you.
