I just wondering why you did that ? a lot of part on this camera can be use (capacitor, flash bulb, lens barel, front case and some other !). The old camera can be difficult to found for part with affordable price, but you you decide to destroy it. Sorry for you man...

It takes about 15-30 minutes to disassemble and clean the shutter button. The Konica Hexar AF uses the same button and there are guides online to clean it. I’d say you could google it, but you already needlessly destroyed your camera.

QUESTION is: Is that ribbon cable only salvaging the back LCD? Or does replacing it could solve other problems the camera has like shutter not actuating etc?

@GlaciatorGaming Жыл бұрын

if its having issues where it rewinds half way through the roll repairing the ribbon cable sometimes fixes it but "shutter not actuating" sounds like either a mechanical fault or an electrical fault on the lens side of the camera

@@GlaciatorGaming Yup, I guess you're right. It's a more complicated issue, so not sure for how much such a copy would sell on eBay [for parts]. Shame, as it was kept well, but time does it's thing even without touching the camera, I guess....

Hi Patrick, I had a problem with Konica A4. I shot 3 or 4 photos and the camera has starded rewinding the film. Do you know this problem? Thank you very much.

Mine's the cable broke too (BLANK LCD), but either way the camera didn't take the film forward either... Would a new cable be the solution to this problem as well? Anybody know?

unfortunately that's probably a problem with the advance motor, which afaik there isn't an easy fix for

Well, for some reason this made me chuckle, quite a bit! Now to find another video that might help with fixing my flash which does not fire on one of these tricky little buggers..

I had to buy several cameras until you find the good camera: all the cameras used to have great sharpness falls at the upper corners, in photos taken with diaphragm 3.5. More than 5 cameras, and all returned by very serious and horrific fallen fall. The camera lived 6 years and then died by rupture of the data tape located in the optical retractable barrel: irreparable. Model 300 also garbage! All these Konica cameras failed in the factory settings when mounting the lenses. To find the good, you had to return several units to the store. And, it is true, if you were lucky enough to find the camera that had a perfectly adjusted optica, the photos were the best that could be achieved at that time in compact cameras. The photos were awesome !!! The design of the camera was the most elegant in the market: nothing had been seen equal in design before! But shit in quality control at the factory. I could be talking hours of this BigMini BM201 camera, but now rest on a shelf decorating my room. A pity

Hope it isn't too late to ask but is it possible to replace the shutter button as well? it seems like a simple fix or is there something else that causes issues

@SprocketHoles Жыл бұрын

It's soldered in. I tried to clean inside it but it was completely broken and needs to be replaces

@emmett_m Жыл бұрын

@@SprocketHoles does that mean that if you find a possible replacement two stage button, say from a newer dslr or slr you could replace it? Or does it specifically need a compatible shutter button from a donor big mini? I'm thinking of buying a broken one off of ebay and fixing it up myself to save a buck and trying to see what repairs are reasonable.

@@maxgrill1530 shutter release problems are not necessarily due to faulty shutter release buttons. Search 'Konica Hexar AF shutter button fix' The BM-201 should be a similar switch/button
