With the ending of the free FFB back programme in most markets and a number of other well-known (but fixable) problems I have set up this thread for members to help each other by posting links to/ or offering for sale parts for the Dynax/Maxxum 5D and 7D.
Please restrict posts to this topic only. No technical discussions please (use the main 5D/7D thread for those). Any posts 'off-topic' will be deleted witout notice. ------------- I've been away! |

Thanks Nigel.
I've got 7 5Ds that I've picked up over the years with various problems figuring I'd fix them but will now part out. Only 2 have good AS assemblies. Lots of separate rear LCDs also. Two 7Ds also available with bad AS. None have FFB AFAIK. Make offers on entire cameras. Or I will remove parts as needed. Many Minolta Dimage 7, Hi A1 A2 also. PM or e-mail peteganzel(at)lycos.com |

It's my guess that the 5D and 7D are worth more in parts than in working order. Nevertheless, Pete: nice gesture! ------------- Joris' http://fuzzphoto.eu/ - Fuzzphoto gallery | A77II, A700+VG, NEX-5, http://fuzzcraft.com/equipment.html - other gear |

This is a great idea. I want to have my 7D running a bit more of time and I know there are lots of OK pieces around.
The problem is that not so many people can make the fixing by himself ------------- 35/1.8 | 50/1.4 | 50M | 100/2 CZ 16-80 | Tamron 70-300 USD XZ-2 | A700 | A77 M2 http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsaronni/ |

I have a 7D with a dead antishake mechanism - the rest is perfect. Happy to sell it for a very modest price to anyone who wants the parts. Also have four (I think) KM batteries and charger. This is probably only of interest to members in South Africa, though, since the cost of overseas shipping will be steep. ------------- In my bag: a850 / M17-35G / CZ24-70 / S70-300G / M100m / KM5600HSD.

Well my 7D took a tumble from the bag today and the AS has failed. The good (Bad?) thing is that the grip took most of the impact so it is first on the sale block for $40 To Sell ..... 7D grip. Condition (can send pix if you like) there is a crack from the rear controller dial to the door. All controls still work and the door is still 100% functional and the battery clip still does what it is supposed too. It was a real nice condition grip before the fall so you should get good service from the parts harvested from it. $40 plus postage and 1/2 Pay Pal fees. To Buy ...... 7D with "XXX" failure other than Antishake. Need a 7D with a failure other than antishake. My (Alpha) 7D had FFB repaired last year and I would like to revive it if possible. Looking for a body at 50-75 bucks. Thanx ------------- a850/a99/a7/grips, http://www.flickr.com/photos/bill_bly_ca/4314016893/ - and all the other stuff |

I also have a 7D body with ASS failure. I can sell it for about 100€ in europe... I'd equally like to repair it but unles someody offers me an AS assembly for really cheap then I'm just looking to sell it. Everything else works OK and I think it has about 5 batteries, some better than others... I'm also interested if there's a way to block AS and just use the camera without it, centering and locking the sensor manually. |

Hello everyone, I need HELP with my camera. I have a Konica Minolta Dynax(Maxxum) 5D digital camera and recently it refused to turn on. I took it to a place to repair it or at least see what is wrong with it and the technician said that apparently there was something wrong with it's power supply parts, but he could not get the part my camera needed - so I've been trying to find a solution online. I got the details of the part from him I need the following part: 2186040203 DC DC PCB ASSY Have you got any suggestions of where can I find this??? I would be very grateful for any response. |

I have a 7D that I hadn't checked on for awhile, and now it has the FFB issue. Stupid me, I missed the recall deadline and Precision Camera quoted $350 for repairs. I'm interested in selling it, but would like to clear at least $80 from the deal (otherwise I might just hang on to it--not sure why). I'm in Illinois--the Chicago area. I'd prefer to list it somewhere rather than do a more informal exchange; I suppose we could use E-bay even though I loathe it--I'd prefer to find some way to set it up through Amazon Marketplace(I sell under my wife's account: Michelle072304). If someone is interested I'll take a closer look at it, but as far as I can tell everything else works and I still have all of the accessories, box, and manuals. I may have lost that damn LCD screen protector again, though. It has, at most, 9000 shutter activations. It could be as low as 7000. KM already repaired it once. The dof preview button didn't work. I have all the documents from the repair. Anyway, let me know if you're interested or want more information (or if it would be smarter to post this somewhere else). Thanks |

This means that I will have a mostly disassembled Maxxum 7D for parts request. P.S.

I am trying to fix my 15 year old son's Minolta 7D and I think it's the internal battery (the one that really is not easy to change) as he needs to set the date and time every day he uses it. Not a big deal because he doesn't care a bout the date and time....but I'm concerned it doesn't deal with dead pixels properly and remember which got eliminated (shut off). I need to take the camera apart and probably do some electrical work....nothing I can't handle...I just need the battery. If it's connected to a small board and swapping out the board is easier...I would like to get the small board with the battery on it already...I like what ever way is easier. I posted a http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/topic87678_post1029703.html#1029703" rel="nofollow - WANTED: DEAD Minolta 7D topic and posting here was suggested. I don't have a lot of money, but please let me know if you have the part I'm looking for. If it's the whole camera body or if it's just the board with the battery, either way is good with me. Thank you very much.

I see that you tried Precision Camera for the FFB issue. Though it is a good place it is just so far away. Why not try more local? United Camera in Bensenville, IL might be able to help you out. They helped me out with the skipping rear wheel on my A700. I paid around $120 for the service. Everything works great now. Perhaps they can help you and you can keep the camera. ------------- A77II|2xA700|5D|7D|2xMaxxum7|CZ1680|1635|2470|S28|50|24105|70200G|1.4X&2XTC|2xF60M|4xF56AM|M50|2885|28135|3570|70210|KM1870|1735|2875|2x3600HSD|Σ10|50|70|85|1020|100300|1.4X&2XTC |

Bill, don't forget though that any replacement board will also have a battery on it of similar 'vintage' and be more likely to fail earlier than a new rechargeable cell. While you have gone as far as stripping the camera down it would make more snse to me to simply replace the cell. Hope it goes well Nigel ------------- I've been away! |

Nigel, That is a great point. I thought though the internal battery/cell was not available though???? Am I wrong? Am I just assuming because it's Minolta and they're no longer making this camera (or any) that I can't get the part? Where would I get a new battery? Thanks for the thought.

Hi, My minolta 7D has fail to start recently which i suspect it is related to the Anti-Shake. i have open up the camera and do found it is related to Anti-Shake. I have fix it. But some how, after i reassemble the camera, top assembly (both knot does not work), i have trouble shoot by opening and close the body several time, and now i found the problem. I found that the top assembly cover flex Assy (2181-0470-01 ) then the end ribbon connection is broken, that why the whole top assembly fail to work. This might be broken when i have disassemble it without open the latch. I am looking for spare part for my 7D, preferable that you can ship me the entire Top panel or a dead body due to Anti shake. I will replace my part with your. Second option is , ship me the top cover flex assy. I am not sure how difficult is the disassemble of the top. Looking at the service manual it look simple. i will give it a try. I am willing to pay for the shipping. let me know if you have the spare part that i am looking for. ------------- A900 + A65 + KM 7D + Maxxum 9 + S16-105 Learn repairing Minolta lens --> Join my http://www.photography-lab.com" rel="nofollow - Photography-lab.com blog for step by step guide |

Bill I cannot see them using a totally proprietory battery. I know Pete Ganzel reads this thread so... Pete, what type of cell is it please? essing a small LiIon or NiCad which should be available for a parts supplier. Bill, if you have real problems, shoot me the cell type number when you have it and I will check with UK vendors (there's one that I use and I haven't beaten him yet with 'odd' battery requests). ------------- I've been away! |

Hi, I still have the 7D I mentioned in my post from October 2011. I'm a dope and wasn't checking my PMs. So, apologies if you tried to contact me. The battery is probably not working since I've neglected it for 6 months. The rest of the kit is in the same condition (and I found the LCD cover--a small victory). Contact me and I'll ship it domestically (USA). I would appreciate $20 for my trouble and I'll use it to pay for shipping. Thanks |

I have a 7D body with vertical grip I bought off Ebay recently. At the moment it's subject to a not as described claim via Ebay. I was wondering what it might be worth as spares should the claim fail. The grip is in good working order, undamaged but a little shinny with use. No box, just the grip itself. The 7D body is undamaged, again shiny with use, the thumb pad is missing, but otherwise it's in good shape. LCD protector missing, but LCD itself also in good shape. The fault with it is complete FBF failure, along with the exposure mode and comp dials not doing what they should, ie selecting different modes than those set, or wrong compensation. The Af and Anti Shake seem to be ok, indicator in finder showing normal action of the AS bars. Could anyone advise a rough idea of what both may be worth? Obviously if I come to sell (hopefully not) full details including pics will be supplied as expected. |

About £60 for the grip in the UK A maximum of £40 for a broken 7D Prices based on ebay completed listings. The problem with a 'knackered' 7D is the lack of parts to fix it save that you can send it to Runtime in Bremen, Germany who still have the bits to fix FBF. ------------- I've been away! |

Hi Nigel Thanks for the advice. I will probably place an ad here if my claim fails, I really can't be doing with Ebay at the minute and would prefer to deal with honest folk! lol I wouldn't spend on this one to be honest, though the AS and some other parts might be of interest to someone though. |

No worries I still have an 'emotional' attachment to my 7D which had the FBF problem fixed three times and the AS once and which now works beautifully. I guess I have to live with the fact that the combo (7D and grip) are now worth south of GBP200  ------------- I've been away! |

Ahoy! I haven't read all the posts on this thread so don't know if this has ben covered, but with respect specifically to the FFB issues on the 5D and 7D (this applies to the UK BTW), would it be an idea for the powers that be to contact Dave @ Camera Repair Workshop (CRW) and ask if they would like to have any 'dead or dying' 7D & 5D's donated so they have a stockpile from which to strip for parts as Sony have ceased supplying spares in order for the FFB fault to be fixed? Unless an owner is intending to source another body (say with duff IS for example) for donor parts, I was thinking that the notion might not be that daft and maybe get CRW on-board as possibly Dyxum's UK partner repair agent and by sending a consignment (it isn't that expensive for bulk postage) maybe some sort of reduced repair, servicing and cleaning rates could be negotiated. At least then old 5D and 7Ds might get a second lease of life and CRW could then create a parts bin and we Dyxumers might get something in return, but this may be one for the heirarchy to look into. After all, as an example, SRS Microsystems are sponsors to Pentaxuser (UK) and PUK members buying from SRS get free delivery if they state at the time of purchase that they're PUK members (username to be supplied at time of ordering), so similarly this could be of benefit to all Dyxumers for repairs etc. There may be other suggestions Dyxum members can think of (maybe on a separate thread), but I though it an obvious means to an end that could benefit Dyxumers and CRW alike at least from the 5D and 7D PoV.

Good idea for the UK Mark, however our members on the continent can still have FFB repaired at Runtime in Bremen and for members in the USA S&H costs may prove prohibitive. ------------- I've been away! |
Posted By: Pirate

OK, then how about this as a suggestion. Contact the relevent repair agents in UK, EU and USA with the idea suggested (discounted repair and servicing and cleaning rates) in return for a free logo or banner insertion on the Dyxum website (you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours) so to speak. Inform them of the ever growing global membership to the Dyxum website and give them the historical blurb about the site and it's membership. Ask if members booked a service, repair or sensor clean that Dyxum members will get a preferred rate and they (the agent) get free advertising. Dyxumers will have to provide their username when booking the service to qualify for the discounted rate. Dyxumers then get a discounted service from a reputable rated and/or authorised agent, the repair company gets free exposure and likely more business. This then as you've said will be in UK, EU and USA (agents from other countries/continents could be added). Maybe do it on a 2 year renewable basis. I'm sure Dyxumers would post their FB on the site giving their experiences with the repairing agent, and thus it's a symbiotic relationship that benefits all concerned. I'm not a marketing person, but it seems like a win-win idea to me (I am a simple soul by nature). Maybe run a poll or even broach the idea to powers that be @ Dyxum Towers! ------------- http://www.fluidr.com/photos/kopczewski - Fluidr http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photographer.php?p=4091 - Airplane-Pictures |

Pirate Consensus is that there would be no problem in reciprocal advertising so feel free to contact CRW if you wish to 'test the water'. I do see an issue however in CRW using used parts. There is no way to distinguish the old charge cam (cause of the FFB problem) from the 'modified' version. As CRW guarantee their repair work I think they would be loathe to use old parts. ------------- I've been away! |

Pirate, did you have anything come of this? Milton Keynes isn't too far for me to go to drop off this dead 5D but even so?  ------------- ex-KM5D, Sony A700, A55, A77ii Coventry UK. http://www.flickr.com/photos/covltwt - CovLtwt Flickr |

Antishake I think. I see you're a new user, only been here a few days too... What have you got, and whats wrong with it, and can you fix it with spare parts? I'm up off the M69. ------------- ex-KM5D, Sony A700, A55, A77ii Coventry UK. http://www.flickr.com/photos/covltwt - CovLtwt Flickr |

Hi there It has a main board fault, the camera works fine but the card interface is broken. I have been told by CRW that there are no spares but if I can find another 5D with a different fault it should be possible to swap the main boards over and then swap the eproms over to restore all the system setting to the new mainboard. |

I have a 7D that had AS failure too. It went for repair at the place in Milton Keynes (Actually it's been there twice!) I hear now that if any sort of failure occurs the 7D is finished as there ain't anywhere that repairs them - except maybe somewhere in Germany?! I therefore have the AS turned off as I REALLY don't want to lose the 7D as it's my favourite camera by far - I have a Sony 100, 200, 550, 700 & 77. It's the only one that feels old-school just like cameras used to feel! I'm looking at them on ebay and considering buying another body as backup cos I would dread the day I can't use my Minolta any more... If I go away on holiday, it's the Minolta that comes with me along with the 28mm Minolta prime - Like a partnership in heaven! I think that's the way to go anyway - buy off anyone wanting to sell rather than buying a broken one and fixing the parts together - but then I'm sure loads of you guys know how to do that?! I wouldn't know where to start!!! Tom. ------------- http://www.atmosferik.com - So you're a Sony boy eh?!

So, my KM 5D has been a practically terminal. Take a piccy and the the camera locks up and doesn't even store it; 90 percent of the time using it. Some of the times it does take a picture. However, I've upgraded now and I thought I'd post in here because I've got a few spares left over and was wondering what the interest for these parts were any more? So. KM 5D Body Battery Charger (Non OEM)(SG-IC032) Input 12/24vdc and 240vac 4 Batterys: 1 x Genuine 7.4v 1500mah 2 x Non OEM 7.4v 1500mah 1 x Non OEM 7.4v 1750mah Might have some other bits and bobs but I'm hanging onto the lenses and everything as it's compatible with the Sony I now have. Not sure what they're worth but I doubt much these days, but rather than just throw them out... ------------- ex-KM5D, Sony A700, A55, A77ii Coventry UK. http://www.flickr.com/photos/covltwt - CovLtwt Flickr |

It's such a shame these wonderful bodies keep on dieying. While today we have lots of cameras from 20 or even 40 years ago (even more, really)working as good as they did at the time or even better, I don't think the next generation (ie my sons and grandsons - ps: i'm 21)will have the opportunity to explore old bodies like we do with film cameras today. ------------- a99 and a7r http://www.flickr.com/photos/coposdeagua/ |

I also recently found I had a vertical grip for the 5D and briefly had it on sale here but other complications surfaced. For example, do you know how hard it is to send anything with more than on lithium battery abroad?! Major headache! Anyway, I've got all the parts here together now, so I guess at some point I shall make up a properly formatted FS page and get it right next time ;) Otherwise I just see the camera going onto a shelf as a display piece... ------------- ex-KM5D, Sony A700, A55, A77ii Coventry UK. http://www.flickr.com/photos/covltwt - CovLtwt Flickr |

Does anybody know what a working body only 7D will realistically go for? The only fault I have with mine is with the batteries, other then that it works fine, since I have got my A77 I never use the camera anymore which is a shame. Matt |

As a thought, has anyone got in touch with Camera Repair Workshop in MK to enquire if they would accept donated 5D and 7D's for parts? http://www.camerarepairworkshop.co.uk/ - Website ------------- http://www.fluidr.com/photos/kopczewski - Fluidr http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photographer.php?p=4091 - Airplane-Pictures |

Ahoy Matt! What exactly is the battery issues you describe? I can only assume either the battery/ies is/are old and doesn't hold a full or sufficient charge for the 7D to function or there's a contact issue which may just require a wipe to clean them of any tarnish build-up. Do you still have the 7D and if so, are you going to list it? I think most peoples main concerns are with first frame black (FFB) which is an expensive fix and not financially viable based on the likely selling price in proper working condition as you'll probably be lucky to recover just the repair bill. I'm just being a nosy parker, but an update would be welcome. ------------- http://www.fluidr.com/photos/kopczewski - Fluidr http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photographer.php?p=4091 - Airplane-Pictures |

| I can't help with that one, the 7d's got a different screen to the 5d. It maybe worth searching to see if the a100's lcd is the same as the 7d as I know that is a little different to the 5's again |

This is the people in Milton Keynes... I have never used them, but have heard lots of good things about them - I think they are trustworthy. There is a trust thing in using your credit/debit card over the phone, but I think this is what any retailer would do. ------------- RBJ ~ http://tinyurl.com/h7uhozk - Moderation on Dyxum |

They have been trading a very long time. As their not a retail outlet you can not buy the part online , so paying over the phone is the only option . Quite common over here. Their business is repairing cameras and so on , where you send your camera in , it gets inspected , and if you want them to go ahead you pay over the phone . Job done. If your practically worried about paying over the phone , use a credit card , rather than debit card . Check with your card provider , but I think your insured against fraud . Other than that , ask them if they will accept a cheque . You'll have to post it and wait while it gets banked and it clears before they send you anything , o.k if your not in a hurry . They might not be able to do this though . If they don't work with cash etc , they might only do their banking online and won't want to mess about dealing with a cheque for a low value item. Personally , I would have no problem paying them over the phone for parts or services . ------------- see my photostream on flickr; https://www.flickr.com/photos/neilt3/sets/ - http://www.flickr.com/photos/neilt3/ C & C welcome. |

Ahoy! David and CRW are great. Just go to the CRW http://www.camerarepairworkshop.co.uk/ - website . I and others have used them with no issues. They were the UK Minolta repair agents, so have no concerns about making over the phone payments as I and I'm sure millions of others do so all the time, and a CC payment is protected anyway, so pay the man and get your gear back. If anyone is looking for a Dynax 7D, I have one listed in the external classifieds forum. ------------- http://www.fluidr.com/photos/kopczewski - Fluidr http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photographer.php?p=4091 - Airplane-Pictures |

Ahoy! For the attention of UK Dyxumers. If anyone has a dead or dying Dynax/Maxxum 7D gathering dust, and if they have them, would anyone be willing to part with both of the following items: 1. Hot-shoe flashgun cover (Sony Part No: FA-SHC1AM/B).  2. Viewfinder eyepiece cup model EC-1400 (Part No: 8237-200).  If so, can you give me a cost for both? UK postage will be the price of a 2nd class large letter stamp if put into a regular envelope (no need for bubble-wrap). I've posted here as it's likely to be seen by owners who have a Dynax/Maxxum 7D that have turned up their mortal coil for the big parts bin in the sky, though if the thread MOD wants to move it to the WTB thread, then I'll have to accept that, but I hope this request may be allowed to remain here. I can do a PP transfer. TIA. ------------- http://www.fluidr.com/photos/kopczewski - Fluidr http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photographer.php?p=4091 - Airplane-Pictures |

Hi again! So I would say call camfix.ch workshop. When I was repairing my Minolta I have bought an new original eye viewer an original battery. Not all is listed on his website. Call and ask. |

Ahoy! I think it would be easier and a lot cheaper via eBay. Switzerland is a non-EU member, and if they charged over the allowable value limit for UK importing, then there will be Customs and other fees to pay, so not really worth doing IMO, so was hoping if anyone who had a duff 7D could offer the items cheaply and postage would be the price of a 2nd class large letter stamp within the UK, but if nobody has them or won't offer them for purchase, I'll revert to Plan B, but I thought it at least worth asking here first. It's not a big deal  ------------- http://www.fluidr.com/photos/kopczewski - Fluidr http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photographer.php?p=4091 - Airplane-Pictures |

The hot-shoe cover will, but the eyecup model part number for the 5D is: EC-1500, so I assume will be different to the EC-1400 for the 7D. ------------- http://www.fluidr.com/photos/kopczewski - Fluidr http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photographer.php?p=4091 - Airplane-Pictures |

Ahoy! Well, it could be that both are the same but they have different model and part numbers (EC-1400/EC-1500), but it dawned on me that the Sony FDA-ME1AM 1.15x magnifying eyecup fits both A700 and A850, so the 5D eyecup may well fit the 7D. I was merely using the different part/model numbers as being camera specific, so unless anyone can confirm if they're interchangeable, then maybe your 5D could be used as a donor for the 2x parts required for the 7D. Offer is appreciated though  ------------- http://www.fluidr.com/photos/kopczewski - Fluidr http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photographer.php?p=4091 - Airplane-Pictures |

Hello everyone. I hope to have found the right place. I am looking for a body of KM 5 d order to repair my camera, KM 5 d. I don't know if anyone in this forum are encouraged to sell.
