minox guy here. thank you all for your replies.
i visited a local, old school camera shop and decided to fix my camera (at some point). the guy barely looked at it and knew what the problem is. he explained it to me but i didn't understand.
I was quoted 50€ for it as it is a simple repair. i was also offered a "deal" of trading it + 20€ for another minox with a flash and a case.
my camera is in mint condition (even if pic related doesn't do it justice). it has shot 2-3 films when my parents first got it as a gift and another 4 films since i got it in october (it still had the original battery in it, dead but not leaking). i will not be accepting his "deal".
