I was playing around with the off-camera flash bracket I just got (result:
with more tape to insulate things, the T32 works just fine) and after one
shot, the mirror stayed up. Fair enough; I switch it to battery test to try
and reset everything, but nothing; no beep, no mirror back down.
Fair enough, I think to myself; batteries are dead. So I get the spare
battery [1] I have, put it in the camera, and still no joy; mirror stuck up,
no beep, nothing.
So now I'm getting kinda worried; perhaps the old batteries went wrong in a
funny way. Perhaps the messing around with flash confused things. Well,
let's take the lens off the front and see what's going on.
Gotcha: if the focus screen surround has come loose and dropped down and
caught the mirror, then the above situation happens.. it's the lack of
battery-okay beep that really got to me, to be honest.
anyway, if this happens to anyone else, it's worth checking..

[1] (actually, at this point I think "why do I only have _one_ spare
battery? what use is that?", go buy another spare, put in an order for 20
357's from watchsupply.com, finally get back on track)
