If the mirror sticks upward on a Yashica FX-3, don't try to pry it down. It won't come.
To get the mirror to snap down, one needs to expose the mirror mechanism. It resides on the RIGHT side of the mirror box and on the BOTTOM of the mirror box.
I peel back the covering to expose the 4 screws holding the front cover in place. The 4 screws are farther under the covering, and not seen in the picture. Also, take off the self-timer lever by peeling away the cover and unscrewing (normal thread screw.)
