Lens won't come off 500c body!

Just got a 500c body with an 80mm lens attached. I took off the lens and reattached it somehow that the camera wouldn't fire and wouldn't forward and the lens wouldn't come off.

I tired the internal cocking method with a screwdriver and it partially worked, until I realized that instead of removing my lens entirely, not the lens is mis-mounted and wiggling. The shutter on the body releases but the blades in the lens aren't moving anymore.

Please help, this is so frustrating with this new equipment!
 
I had the same problem, I still have that one lying in a suitcase. Get it repaired by someone who knows what they are doing. Then again im not an expert on the subject.
