I had this camera for some period of time. This problem arises because of the ribbon cable which bypasses the hinge.
You see most of the information in the finder, except the ISO. I learned how the change the ISO blind: Switch to the highest or lowest ISO and count the clicks of the wheel.
It is not the only of and advanced camera which has such kind of weak point. Once I had a Leica minilux zoom: The ribbon cable to the lens (aperture setting) broke.
Experiencing such things I relaized how beautiful old mechanical cameras are. I think my Rolleiflex may be repaired 50 years in the future.
