On my mf8 3x4x5, the ( x x ) layers have locked up and don't move at all.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to fix it??

Lots of people have had this problem. It's referred to in the solving 3x4x5 thread, found
here:
Here's the relevant part, found near the bottom of the 1st page, and there's discussion after that.

I was just scrambling mine and I got this situation. The outer 3X4 layer is locked and will not turn. The puzzle may have started with the orientation the other way, but I still can't see why this turn is not possible.. It should be possible, right? Nothing seems to be out of alignment in the mechanism, and all other turns are possible

.
EDIT: I just had a look at the mechanism and it is physically blocked, (2nd photo added).. it seems that it is not as `fully functional` as I thought.
If you want to try it you can do [4x5 F, 3x5 U] Dd Rr2 Uu2 R (With one 3X5 face as U it is blocked, with the other it is functional

).
