Re: Maxxum 650si Won’t Turn On

Joseph, I agree with Neil's advice.

I am currently finishing up a roll in my 650si Date. I am using a Panasonic 2CR5 battery and everything works great.

I realize the sentimental value of you camera. Sometimes these things just happen. These old Maxxum bodies are getting old and sometimes get flaky. I don't know where you are located but here in the US a used body will cost average $35 for either the 600si or 650si, but expect that to go up. For instance, I bought mine for $17 and it included a Minolta 35-80mm F4-5.6 "Lens Cap" lens. That was a year and a half ago. And this body is a very well featured one as you probably know. It is actually my favorite, along with the Maxxum 70.

Good luck in your efforts, let us know the outcome.
