Hello everyone
I'm having a similar problem. I recently acquired a used P30 (2 days ago), tested it, used 2 films on it, and everything was working fine. I went to load the third film today, but once I placed it in the camera i couldn't wind the film. The winding lever is limp and does nothing. So (as suggested here) I went to check the rewind button, and it was indeed stuck in there. I opened the bottom and managed to unstuck it.
However, the lever is still limp and does not wind. Does that mean it's broken for good? It worked OK with the previews two films, I didn't put any pressure on the lever when winding it, when the film was done I didn't force the lever farther than it could go. It's confusing how it could go limp all of a sudden when 30 minutes prior it was in working shape.
