Promaster 2500pk super camera film advance not working?
I bought a Promaster 2500pk super recently for a class, and now it's stopped working. I removed a roll of film recently and the film release button got stuck? I eventually got it out again (not the proper way, whatever that is), and loaded a new roll but now the film advance lever won't advance the film or even catch on the thing that does advance the film. The shutter release button on top also will not function.
Does anyone know how to correctly release the film release button or get the lever / shutter release to work again?

The rewind release should pop out when you wind on. If the winding lever isn't tensioning the shutter and advancing the film, there's probably a problem with the internal gearing.
Take it back where you got it and explain what's happening.

About ten years ago I bought a Promaster 2000 PK. The first one had a dysfunctional frame counter. I exchanged it and got one that has no problem. The moral of the story is that this can be a good camera if you get a good sample, but it seems like they release many bad samples.
