My X-T1 doesn't fire.

This is the story: Two years ago I purchased 2 X-T2's and placed my X-T1 on consignment. It never sold, so recently I took it back and was using it on occasion. Today I took it out and it won't fire. I notice all the settings are stiff but I'M not sure that has anything to do with the camera not firing.

 

Would it be worth having it fixed? Or should I consign it to the dumpster which I would hate to do since I feel a camera is a tool of creation.

 

Thanks.

Battery issues(dead, poor connection)could do it. Not sure what you mean by "stiff" settings. Any chance it took a dip? Any activity on the LCD or EVF with a charged battery?

BY stiff I mean that the dials don't move as easily as they once did. The batteries are working as is the LCD and EVF . It was in the display case at the store for two years before I took it back. Perhaps something dried out in the camera. Or it may be as you said a poor connection. Thanks for responding.

UPDATE: Yesterday I gave it a slap on the side and this morning I put my 27mm lens back on and low and behold it started to work again. I'll keep it around the apartment as a cat camera and sunset from the window camera. Go figure.
