Hello guys. Can you please help me?

I have recently purchased a Fuji GA645 75/3.4. Yes, it's the folder. Very nice camera. Problem is, I think I busted something.

In my attempt to close back the lens, I think neglected to cock the shutter first (as I am supposed to). Now I cannot fire the shutter or close the lens (that is, fold it back in).

Any ideas on a solution or workaround instead of me spending $$ to get the thing fixed?

Cheers everyone.
 
It is necessary also to set the lens to infinity to close the door.
Also there is a shutter lock dial, may be you've moved it a little. I understand that all these are obviously but still.
 
May be I did not understand you properly. Do we talk about GS645 folder? If not then all what I wrote is wrong and I am sorry for misunderstanding. But if your camera is GS645 then there is a 2-position lock lever around the shutter button
 
Yeah...yeah...sorry, my mistake. I meant GS645. The one and only with the 75/3.4.

I know this lock lever you meant. But I cannot see it as my solution since it merely locks/unlocks the shutter release button. I reckon I busted this camera. I was hoping there'd be like a nifty trick or something.
