My nikonl35 af film camera shutter is jammed. How do I fix this?

I have a nikon l35 af film camera and it's second hand so the shutter button was always a little stiff but it worked. But recently the shutter button jammed completely and I can't press down and I can't turn the camera on and of without a whole lot of force. How can I fix this why is this happening and who can fix this! I really want to fix it since I have a roll in there that I don't want to waste

It is toast.

The L35 was a 35 mm P&S camera and should not have cost you more than $10. Just recycle it and find another one.

Just rewind the film in the camera and have it developed and printed. They will only charge you for the number of prints they print from the roll.

Here is a link to its user manual. Maybe it will help you, but the chances are something stick got into the shutter release button and has caused it to stick.

Not something you can fix yourself.
You could take it in for repair but honestly it won't be worth it.
Buy another one and make sure it's in good working order.

Toss it away; it's not worth anything. Don't let the "Nikon" brand deceive you. All top brand camera companies also put out "point-and-shoot" cameras that are made by smaller companies they contract to manufacture cheap, plastic, consumer point-and-shoot cameras for vacationers or those who take photos once or twice a year.

IF, however, you wish to entertain yourself tampering and tinkering with it… Go ahead and have fun.

You mentioned that it was a bit stiff before but it worked… Sounds like the effect of dirt (air borne dust setting in the shutter lubrication oil OR some air borne dust or dirt or grime from fingers finally got into the shutter release button shaft and hardened).

Or your batteries have expired. This is a very good point and shoot camera which has a fast f2.8 lens and is fully automatic. Two things will make a manual shutter stick, not winding the film on because you've reached the end of the film, and not replacing the two AA batteries. Press the film rewind button and rewind the film back into the cassette. Now check the batteries after you have pressed the shutter release button again. Just in case it was a partially cocked shutter wind on problem.

It's 2020 and the price of the Nikon L35AF is rising. Now that the value of these vintage cameras are higher, can you guys provide a detailed instruction on how to fix it, instead of just brushing us off for trying to learn how to work and appreciate such timeless piece of machinery
