This is a fairly new FM2n body but I may have advanced the last frame on the
roll too aggressively because the firm tore from the can and the advance lever
and shutter are now jammed. Nikon repair shop wants $200 to fix it. What is
involved in fixing this? Can I do it myself?

Bought a Nikon FM2n mechanical body new in late 2001 but for various
reasons did not use it until recently, so it's out of warranty. On the third roll of
film the winder jammed; shutter will not release, winder will not wind. Nikon
repair shop wants $200 to fix it. Is there some trick I can use myself to unjam
it?

A big thank you to Eric Sande, whose suggestion worked. I took out three
screws from the bottom plate and there was revealed a lever which can be
pushed aside to allow the advance to be reset normally. Thanks Eric, you
saved me $200! So much for all the doomsayers who warned me no-touchy!
