First make sure shutter speed dial is not set to mechanical red "60", which
overrides other settings.

I've found that the Auto / Manual switch sometimes gets oxidized under the
top cover. Mainly this makes the camera stay in auto mode when switch is set
to manual, I don't think it malfunctions the other way. Set to manual,
shutter speed dial to a low speed (I use 1/8 for testing).  Put lens cap on
and fire shutter, it should open and close in 1/8th.  If shutter stays open,
rock switch back and forth between manual and auto many times, then try
again.
