5D/ 7D Parts - The Boneyard

luffy wrote: 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.

Shoot me a PM, I can pull one from one of the 5Ds I have with bad AS assemblies.

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

I will be making time to exchange the nonfunctional AS assembly in my Alpha 7D from the functional Maxxum 7D in the next week week.

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


P.S. The donor does have a shutter issue(Bright(er) at top of frame).

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 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 am looking for a rubber eyepiece for a Maxxum 7D (I supposed the 5D used the same?). I am located in the US.

Posting a "wanted" message in the wanted to buy section as well.

Thanks!

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

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.

I have an old 5D that stopped working a while ago. I have it put back into the box it came with + batteries, charger, everything except the strap.

If anyone needs one make me an offer.
