Well, I've had that one, too.  And again I don't remember the exact remedy, but 
I'm sure it was something simple, like setting the camera to manual, setting 
the shutter to the red 60, checking the batteries.  I've never done anything 
complicated to one, never even considered any sort of disassembly, so it's 
always been something that can be fixed just by fiddling with the settings.  I 
can't imagine you can do damage just by twisting knobs and dials.

With any luck, somebody smarter than me -- John, Clint, Mark -- will give you 
some more reliable advice.
