Film problems with my Nikon n70

Someone gave me a Nikon n70. They didn't really use it anymore… So I was willing to try it out. (I normally shoot digital and the camera has no manual)

Once I get the film loaded into the camera… And all the way used up, I can't get my camera to re-load the film to where I can take it out of the camera and change it to a new roll.

Unless I miss my guess it's a manual rewind, is that correct?

If so, the left wheel should have pop up handle. Simply pull the wheel up, pop the handle and wind the film back into the canister. If it's a power re-wind perhaps it needs a battery.

Also, under the camera there should be a small button that's concaved into the frame. That small button must be depressed during re-wind so the take up reel is free to turn in its opposite direction.

From what I saw on the web it appears to be an auto winder, so it probably just needs a battery.
