Thanks for all the helps!

Using suggestions of Photosphere and John Hermanson, I
opened up the switch, found a "loose" leg of the three
legs on the switch. "Glued" it back on to the switch, I
can now use the manual mode.

Now, how do I fix the bulb mode? In the buld mode,
everytime the shutter is fired, it seems that the camera
has a mirror lockup. Turn the switch to manual mode
releases the mirror.
