I have a minolta maxxam 5D. When I put the Compact Flash card into the camera the camera freezes and no works but you dont see any images just the camera information. The rad light on the back of the camera stys on.
The P-channel MOSFET switching the CF power is dead. It is on the little board directly above the battery compartment. SOT23 package, the marking is 338 or something like that. Replace it and it will work.

was it working before?
turn the memory card anyway and have a try - before check inside the memory card compartment with a flashlight if you can see the contacts at the bottom and insert the card corresponding to them.
Or try another card to exclude yours is not damaged or wrong type somehow.... Konica Minolta MAXXUM 5D Instruction Manual Inserting And Changing Memory...
two reasons for this are possible:
1) you changed the exposure compensation by mistake to minus something... - see below - change it again to +- zero: Konica Minolta MAXXUM 5D Instruction Manual Exposure Compensation
2) you should have the ISO settings to auto:
Your Minolta QTsi Maxxum takes a Konika Minolta AF lens. These lenses work on these Konika Minolta DSLR cameras:
DYNAX 5D / Maxxum 5D
DYNAX 7D / Maxxum 7D
Insert your memory card into your computer's reader if you have one. If
not, you can purchase a multi-format USB Memory Card reader from
Amazon.com or Buy.com
2
Open up 'My Computer'. You should see it under the list of available
drives.
3
Check its contents first to make sure that you have the right drive.
4
In 'My Computer', right-click on the drive and choose 'Format'.
5
Leave all the options as they are and click on 'Start'. This is a
non-reversible process so make sure this is what you truly wanted to do
in the first place.
6
Once the process is completed, take the memory card out and insert it
into your Digital Camera or any other device. Try to browse to it to
make sure it works fine now.
Hey arnelsartwor, To set both exposure and flash bracketing you need to press the drive mode button, and then use the up/down arrows to select bracketing and then use the right/left arrows to highlight the drive mode option and then press the center button to select the desired drive mode. These instructions are on page 50 of your user manual. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Allan Go Ahead. Use Us.
Shooting in the dark here, but the basic things you should try before all else is another mem card, and new compatible batteries.
sounds more like a card problem though.
hope it works out
