Hi Marco,

The mirror may be stuck. Try opening and closing the camera several times, and make sure that the fan which includes the flip-up mirror inside the viewfinder is extended up all the way.

Best,

Patrick

Additionally, if you insert a film pack (preferably an empty one with a good battery), try inserting it and see if the camera cycles.
