I need some help from the experts!

I wound my Kiev 4 AM for a shot and as I adjusted to a new shutter speed, I was careless and the wheel didn't drop into the slot properly (I was at 125 and changing to 250). Now when I wind the next time, it goes all the way to B. I can put it only on B, 2, 5. It will not turn beyond 5. And even when I put it to 5, shoot and wind, it goes back to B. It has forgotten its settings. How can I fix this? :bang:
 
I'll give you a bump hoping that some of the experienced Kiev users can give you some help. Also, if you haven't already, you might want to try the Kiev Survival Site (google). There may be something there that answers your question.
 
Something like this hapened with my Kiev 3a, and I fixed it without opening the camera, just by fiddling with the speed dial and winding and shooting. Couldn't reproduce it, but it's fixable.
