I have a OM4 which has a loose screw in the center of the shutter release
button. After shooting awhile the screw moves enough that pushing the button
doesn't do anything. Ten seconds with a tiny screwdriver (be careful IRRC
some have turned the screw too far) and it works for a few more days.
Good luck,
