Subject: [OM] Louie is sick. Help me help him!
> Louie, the third of my three old OM-4s, is not well. Huey and Dewey are
> fine, but in either manual or auto mode, Louie's mirror flops up and the
> shutter closes, and then everything stops. If I slightly loosen the
> battery compartment cap, then press it lightly with a finger, while
> holding the camera upside down, the shutter finishes what it started and
> the mirror comes back down. This is not a convenient way to take
> pictures! I've tightened screws, cleaned threads, tried new batteries,
> and new caps, both silver. Everything else, i.e., display, metering,
> self-timer, battery check, all work normally. Also, he sometimes whines.
