Minolta F100 Internal Battery Replacement

[ketchemr]

[This is a cross post from "Digital Cameras". - RRK]

 

My wife has a Minolta F100 point and shoot that has started losing its

settings whenever the batteries are replaced (which is quite often

with this camera). A call to Minolta confirmed that the problem is the

internal battery, the replacement of which would cost me $120 and must

be sent to them. Has anyone taken this camera apart? Could you provide

some guidance? Or has anyone seen instructions for replacing the

internal battery?

 

Thanks,

Randy

I do not know this but my F100 needs readjustment for date and time ever since I bought it. The camera itself is worthless, not even justify the 120 fees for the replacement of internal battery, which I doubt if there is any.

I have the same poblem with my Minolta F 100. It is abolutely annoying. It appeared one

and a half year after purchase. I assume there is some kind of internal rechargeable

battery which dies and will not recharge.

 

I have an explosion drawing of the camera (very technical) where you can identify every

part, even the smallest screw. However I did not find a hint to a lithium battery or some

rechargeable backup battery. I can send you that PDF, if you like. Just send me mail to

email@christian-fries.de

 

I think this is a scandal. Minolta should replace the camera for free. This was the last

Minolta I bought and I will post my experience with Minolta to my WebLog

www.fr135.de someday.

Hello. Today I experience exactly the same problems as You. Since I have found no explanation in other forums, I would highly appreciate to know how you did solve this problem. Thanks !

 

Safe than this, the camera still produces great images even after 5 years of intensive use, mainly outdoor, and i still do not regret having bought it.
