GA645i film take-up does not work

<p>I've been trying to load a new roll of 220 into my GA645i but the film take-up motor is not responding.<br>

I completed a roll only days earlier, so I know the problem cropped up only recently. Everything else seems to work--the camera turns on, focuses, etc. Functions that require the use of the film take-up dial (exposure compensation, aperture and shutter speed in manual mode) also work. The battery meter shows full, and I've put less than 10 rolls on this set of batteries.<br>

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Can anyone please recommend a service center for my camera in New York City?<br>

Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I've never tried it with 120.<br>

What I did notice is that, in the past, when dry-firing (using the camera without film loaded), the camera would take the shot and make a whirring sound (ie, rotate the spool as if it contained film). Now, the camera just takes the shot but does not advance the spool.</p>
