It was found in a second hand store and shows signs of wear. It was initially working (shutter would fire, flash is functioning, film winder working), but then I changed the battery to a new one (PX625A at radio shack). Now shutter no longer fires and battery check says camera doesn't have much power (battery that was in the unit showed almost no power at all), which I'm guessing means the battery contacts are dirty. I put the original battery back in and the shutter still doesn't want to fire anymore. I can't tell if something jammed or the camera has locked itself up for some reason.

This is a pretty good camera -- I actually have one.
Clean the battery contacts with the butt end of an eraser-tipped pencil.
If this doesn't work, toss it in the recycle bin as repairing it will cost more than another (working) camera.
