juergen_schweizer Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Hi, is there anybody with information or experience regarding a XG-M with a blocked shutter. The problem looks like after the advance lever was activated, it is impossible to release the shutter. Something seems to block it. Or is it maybe an electronic problem? I know that some of the X-300 and X-700 cameras have similar problems and that in those cases a replacement of several capacitors was the solution. By the way, I have a copy of a service manual for the X-370 (US- version). Does anybody know, if this manual could be used for the XG- M too, at least in several details? Is there a way to get a copy of an XG-M service manual without paying for it. I know it is a bunch of questions, but I realy would like to repair the old lady. I am a mechanic, so I think I can handle the mechanical part of the problem, but I won´t start working on the electronic stuff, before having some detailed information. Thanks in advance for information. Juergen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_byrd1 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 The same thing happened to my XG-7. I called Minolta, and they said it was a failed "condenser." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theorist Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 There's a service manual on eBay for the XG-M. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2940393840&category=29960 I had the same problem with my XG-M, but I sent mine to Garry's Camera Repair (I didn't fix it myself).

ingino Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Send an email to Minolta expert Dick Sullivan. His email address can be found at the bottom of this page: http://www.pcisys.net/~rlsnpjs/minolta/minolta.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
