Had this cheap dusty Olympus Mju I for a while now, liked to have it always in a pocket or laying around in my car.
Two days ago I wanted to put in a scuffed expired film where the film leader was a bit crumbled. It got stuck at winding so I tried to pull it out, did the best I could to not break anything but I had to pull a bit harder at some point because it seems like something was stuck.
So the problem is that it won't load anything anymore, the loading/winding sound is a bit weird, kind of crackling and well it just won't load the film. The display is showing me the "E" for empty/error.
Google just shows me retarded forum posts.
So well now theres something broken obviously and I have no idea what else I can try, tried to clean the winding mechanism, tried to push in film manually, tried different films.
Just now I realized that this metal piece that seems to push the film onto the winding thing is a bit bended, could this be the problem? I tried to bend it the other way but it doesn't seem to work, is it safe to screw the mju open? I've read that it has lots of miniature parts which easily get fucked up if you open it.
Would someone maybe take a picture of his mju on that spot or does anyone know that problem? Since from googling this it seems like there are quite some people with that problem and unfortunately the price at this moment is too high for me.
