What do you mean by 'winding'? You mean advancing the film? Open up the back cover, then try turning the film advance wheel. Does the film pickup thingie turn as well? If it doesn't ... maybe it's dead. I've seen & heard quite some UWS died because of that. That's why some recommend using 24 exp film so that there ain't that much 'stress' on the film advance mechanism. I might be wrong though.

i just repaired a Fuji Mdl 5 with the same case,i think your advance lever is stuck,like when you wind it then just shot,my suggestion is just try to repair yourself,because most of the toy camera have a simple reconstruction.so i think you can so it

have a nice day

Invisible, I had the same problem! After taking out the previous roll, I was trying to put in a new one when it just couldnt wind in the new roll. Was quite upset cuz I was on hol, and weather was perfect for using the cam!

Help needed...
