I have the problem that I cannot turn the camera on because the rotary switch turns freely, therefor I cannot open the flash to get to the screw that needs to be removed in order to fix the rotary switch. In the rotary switch photo you suggest using a pencil to turn it but in the photo the cap of the switch is removed. How do you remove this cap? I have tried prying it off but no success.
Tu peux tourner le commutateur rotatif même sans enlever la vis du flash. Il m’est arrivé le même problème, pour cela j’ai dévissé tout ce que je pouvais. Ensuite, en soulevant au maximum le couvercle supérieur, tu peux voir cette partie métallique par en dessous et la faire tourner avec une objet très fin jusqu’a atteindre un point de buté, ce sera 125. Ensuite tu mets la batterie, appuie sur le bouton flash et c’est ok normalement. Le fait que la molette tourne dans le vide est du a un tout petit ressort cassé.

Is it safe to do this procedure while a film is inside the camera?
I was wondering if anyone could help me were I could possibly get the new parts?
I've looked around but found nothing relevant so far.
Thanks in advance,
Agoston Horanyi
Did you find the parts ? If no go to eBay.

I'm wondering if there is someone who can fix the mode selector for a reasonable price
How can I open the flash to get to the screw that needs to be removed in order to fix the rotary dial when the rotary dial is moving freely and the camera does not turn on?
You must insert the battery into the camera, turn it on, then press the flash button to open it. Be sure to remove the battery afterward!
i had the same issue (control dial was locked up when i got it), and to be honest i just kinda pulled it up 😳 it felt a little wrong but it didnt break anything and the camera works like a charm now :-D
