/p/ I desperately require your input :[...I was given a minolta maxxum 4 for christmas, which was working fine, but then yesterday it simply died on me. I've noticed that the AF/MF button which connects the lens to the camera is a bit sticky. I googled it a bit and all i could come up with for the fact that the AF won't work at all is a dead AF motor. It is after all 5 years old. I also noticed the film wouldn't rewind, on it's own nor with the manual button. HELP!
Are you sure your battery's not dead?
>>105481That, or clean off your battery terminals with a pencil eraser, it works wonders. I saved an old strobe doing that.
