Since your problem is with an OM-1 I have removed some points about
electronic cameras.

C3) My camera is jammed (I can neither release the shutter nor advance
the film). What can I do?
Several things:
-Verify that you aren't at the end of a roll of film.
-Press the rewind button and rewind the film into the cartridge.
That way, you will at least be able to develop your film, and
the camera _may_ unjam.
With mechanical jams, the following techniques may work:
-Slam the camera down moderately hard onto the palm of your
hand. (This is said to work particularly well for Pentaxes.)
-With some cameras, you may be able to accomplish something by
very gently pulling slightly on the mirror (to move it toward
the "up" position) and/or by setting off the self-timer.
-If all else fails, remove the bottom plate of the camera and
see if you can trip the shutter or unlock the film advance.
Don't force anything; you're looking for a latch that is just
on the verge of tripping.
