Test the body, lens, and back together - any one can fail independently. Common failure: shutter capping at high speeds; check by firing at 1/500 s against a uniform sky.
Inspect the A12 back's dark slide and the wind crank engagement. Lens shutter should sound crisp at all speeds with no oil on the blades.
