This hapened to me right after I got my R8 and after pressing hard on the back it started to work agian. The back was closed and latched, but I guess there is a second latch or something. I also had shot a few frames then it froze up, I can't remember if the advance also froze or not, but I do remember that it would not fire or anything until I pressed the back firmly.
