I have a Minolta Maxxum 5000i. It is dead




By namato1 on Sep 02, 2009

" "
I have a Minolta Maxxum 5000i, When I brought my digital camera I put this one away. Now my daughter needs a 35mm camera for high school class. I put a new battery in my old 5000i and it is completly dead. It has been sitting for about 5-7 years but was always taken good card of. Any ideas.

- jmorganti I thought the same thing but reading the manual it says a single battery controls all camera functions. So no button battery.

Check to see if there is a button battery in another compartment. Usually the "big" battery is for the flash and some other functions but there may be another one that serves basic functions like aperture and shutter operation.
