Re: Help! My Minolta Xe-7 advanced lever is jammed

If you still have not taken your camera to be repaired, look at this thread https://www.photo.net/discuss/threads/minolta-xe-1-film-not-advancing.5510262/

yours may not be exactly the same but it might just help in figuring out what is wrong.

First thing you could do, after remouving the bottom plate, is to gently try to wind the shutter keeping an eye on what cogs are moving and see if you can figure out where it gets stuck. Sometime it is just matter of flicking a lever out of place and then it will work again.
