Hello,
yesterday night my grandfather handed me a like new Minolta X370n. I went today to buy film and new batteries. I put the film in correctly (I know this because the bar above the lever is red in the far left corner)and I put the batteries in too. I didnt see any red lights, so i put in different batteries. Now, everytime I turn the camera on, for a split second I see a red 'A' in the look box. The lever wont pull past the 30 degree angle and the shutter wont click. Help please! I really wanted to be able to use this camera as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Elise

Do a search on "Minolta x capacitor" and set the match options to "and" for all words. My first blush is this sounds similar to the well known capacitor issue.

BTW - I was lucky. My X570 works and I didn't have to do the repair, but many others on this site have.

Good Luck
