try to pull the shutter cloth in the direction of the rewind knob. You have to put one finger through the mirror case and another from behind pulling the cloth in between of the both. Do this very gently. The shutter will click and the mirror will drop.

what if it after doing that and winding the advance lever, then taking a picture, the mirror goes up but the curtains don't move?

I just used this method and successfully fixed my X-300! It stucked up when it suddenly lost power during filming. Thank you so much! I searched for hours using AI but couldn't find this anywhere
