When inserting the film pack into the camera, the camera does not cycle and the dark slide does not eject, there can be a number of causes.

- camera defective
- camera contacts corroded                                                         

- low battery

You may want to check the battery contacts in your camera. After long time out of use the contacts may have slightly corroded. The contacts in the camera are two copper springs that extend form the bottom of the filmcompartment. You can either try to clean them with a flat, slim object or you can simply pull out an reinsert the filmcasette for several times, to scratch possible oxidation and corrosion of these contacts.

Or maybe you have received a sticky filmpack. please watch this video tutorial to solve the problem: Fixing a 'Super' Sticky Pack: http://blog.the-impossible-project.com/fixing-a-sticky-film-pack

Please note: Letting the camera open for a long time with film inside may drain the battery.

Try again with a new pack of film. If the same issue repeats itself, there is most likely a problem with the camera.
