replaced the internal battery in my Minolta 700, and now nothing works. Old battery was srill working, but figured after about 20 years it needed replaceing. film will not load, and the display will flash the ISO # when installing battery pack.

Found the battery compartment for the internal battery. There was still life in the ol girl, but figured after more than fifteen years it should be replaced. Put a new battery in and the darn thing would not work. Nothing I did would make it work. I figured she was dead, kaput, out-a-here. I left the battery in the camera and checked it in about 3 days, and the thing was working fine. Everything worked. I don't know why, but it did. Anybody having the same problem, give a few days, it might just work.

I have the same problem.

My internal battery is dead. How do you get it out? I see it under the piece of plastic, but I don't know how to move the plastic cover. I don't want to break it. I'm sure it's easy, but I just can't see how to flip it open.

Mine is actually a 7xi and is located on the inside of the camera back. Has anyone changed theirs and know how to get it out?
