(Is that a triple negative?) Since you can't open the back you may want to remove the lens and look at the shutter while it's going off. You may be able to tell if its sticking. Run it through all of the speeds. You should be able to hear a little spring rebound sound at 1/8 and 1/15 if everything is working correctly. If you have any specific operational questions, just ask. The list is a wealth of information.
