Thanks for the video. Last month the back buttons stopped working and after ordering from aliexpress, today I followed your instructions and got my camera working again. My grandfather gifted it to me in the 90s and I still use it regularly. As a note, I have the BM-302 (without the date backplate) so I didn't have to solder the 3 leads (which are left unsoldered from the factory).

Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo au top 👍

Wow! Well done man. What a great video.

Great job.

Thank you for sharing, my bm-201 ribbon cable almost broke...... definitely need a new one...

Very helpful, my Big Mini F was the same procedure exactly

thank you for your infomation

thank you very much

Just ordered a flex cable for my bm-302 and gonna try using this video to fix it, wish me luck 😬👌

Thank you so much for this! Would this process work for the Konica A4 as well?

this is so helpful, I wonder if you know which flex cable is needed for the Konica Mermaid waterproof big mini?

Hey thanks a lot for the video. Where did you buy your tools? Thanks!

good video! a little question... my copy of this camera says the battery is empty with a fresh one installed. could this be a sign of a bad capacitor?

i decided to be extra careful/safe doing this repair so i drained the flash capcitor and now the camera is dead. Can't quite figure out why. Maybe if I charge the capcitor back a certain level it only will it allow power to be delivered to the rest of the board...

Hi, my big mini has a small piece of plastic in the viewfinder, do you think it's safe to just take the front off to take the plastic piece out? Thank you

may i ask whether the flex cable works for the big mini neo r?

Hey! Would you be able to fix my Konica big mini 201. It has a torn ribbon cable. I would love to attempt to fix it myself but am scared I’ll ruin it further. Would pay of course! Thanks

There’s a tiny rectangular black “M1M” resistor on the old cable and the new one doesn’t come with it. Is it ok to leave it off? I tried to transfer it to the new cable but it’s too tiny to handle.

Thanks for sharing this tutorial 😃 I fixed my BM-201 today. A little bit different in comparesing with the BM-301 and with no soldering 😉

would it be possible for me to send mine in and get it fixed for a price?

Hey there friend, where did you buy your ribbon from?

my konica bm_300 is missing the pcb, anyone know if i can find a replacement?

You should look into all the point and shoots Fuji medium format cameras that need fixing because of faulty ribbon that gets stretched because of door back. There are so many that need repairs and Fuji won't back up their crappy design faults, even for money ! And we would pay !

where can I buy the things to replace?

can u do it with konica big mini 201?

Is there a way I could send you my camera and fix it for me? I’d be willing to pay you!
