Hey,
fairly new to the 35mm films and just got one recently, Canon AE-1.
I bought a new battery and films for it but I notice the Shutter Button Lock Lever is stuck to the self-timer and would not budge or move to change it.
I apologize if this is a fairly easy problem to fix but I've pretty much searched everywhere with no solution.
Thanks!

This happened to me to both the Canon's I had. I found out it was a dead battery. Once I replaced those it worked fine. The battery is hidden under the hand grip which can be taken off using a coin in the screw slot.
Sincerely,
Karin

You can replace it with the available lever.Most of the cameras lever can suit

No, it is not the battery. My guess is that the film leader did not stay in the take-up spool and is now bunched up around it. Try rewinding the film carefully as you normally would but remember that you are only rewinding a small portion of the length. You can even just open the film door and start over. You will only loose 3 or 4 frames on the roll.

Do you press the shutter button to release the lever for the next photo? That's how you advance the film from the exposure to light, when first insterting the film.

stevdan,
take the screws off the bottom cover. there is a small lever pointing toward the front of camera with a black screw on it. gently move it to the left, this will release the lock lever. Now advance the lever and the shutter should fire. if not, it is not repairable. no parts
