Minolta dynax 5xi rewind issue

Hello everyone,

I have a minolta dynax 5xi. I've shot the whole roll, and after the 36th picture, it started rewinding, but then stopped very quickly, a few seconds after it started. The display went back to 0 and the roll icon blinked like it should when the roll is rewinded. But I assumed it didn't rewind since it was too quick. So i pressed the manual rewind switch with a pen, and it started rewinding again, but stopped very quickly again and showed again 0 with blinking roll icon. In the end, I opened the camera in darkness, and it really didn't rewind it so I did it manually by hand. After I took the roll out, I pressed the manual rewind with a pen, again, and it did a full 18 some sec rewinding, like it should, but didn't while the roll was inside. The battery is completely full, almost new, a few days old. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
