Unfortunately I left the power on and today, even with a new battery, nothing works. No metering; no winding; no shutter; no indicators at all. Basically no electrical power. I bought this body new a couple of years ago to replace another X-700 previously purchased used. As I recall, the other one has the exact same problem. (Not knowing its history, and only in need of a body, I replaced the first one rather than getting it repaired.) Other than "turn it off when you're done" anyone have ideas? Is there a "reset" somewhere? Thanks.   E.L.Brown Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!) Posted on Monday, June 28, 2004 - 03:52 pm:        Never mind. The guy at my local camera shop did everything I did again -- only now everthing works as it did before. Must have been some dust on the battery contact or something. So all is well again with my Minolta X-700. Thanks for taking the time to read my post; sorry for the trouble.
