Sounds like the film is not exposed, shutter not opening. If possible fire the shutter with the camera open/back off, pointed towards a light source, if the shutter opens you will see the light thru the shutter/lens. If no light is seen then the shutter is stuck.
Your shutter may be stuck open... this will give the appearance of the shutter not opening as well as no image when you look through the viewfinder.
Open the back of the camera, as if you were replacing the film, and look to see if the shutter is open. If it is, you can probably see light coming through the lens when looking from the back of the camera.
If this is the case, you will need to find out why the shutter is stuck open.
Some cameras use a battery to activate the shutter, some cameras have a "bulb" setting that keeps the shutter open for long exposures.
Whatever you do, do NOT force the shutter... I might jiggle it a little bit to see if it will close, but I wouldn't recommend more than a slight jiggle.
While you have camera open, inspect the mirror. If the shutter is closed but the mirror is stuck "up" (to allow light to reach the shutter/firm), there is a chance that you would not be able to activate the shutter.
The K850i is a pretty solid phone because it doesn’t have a rear
battery cover. Instead the bottom of the phone pops open (henge type opener) similar to
what you find on a digital camera.

I dropped the camera and now the shutter opens when turning off & closes when I open the camera. But when it is open, the shutter will open a bit making it impossible to take pictures. What should I do or where do I take it for repairs?
Tks, Ruth
just make sure your hands are not touching the side where the cam is... there is a sensor there that you might have been blocking while taking pics....
