hello where did you buy your flex cable for your big mini F?
@fallyn29209 ай бұрын
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?

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).

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 !

Well I’ve just opened it up and somehow (some god damn how) the main board where the ribbon cable gets soldered too has been removed… I’ve owned this camera for two years how the hell did it turn on and fire without a main board - got stung lesson is always get a good seller

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.

This was helpful thanks for posting, I was able to revive my A4 just now :D. Not exactly the same but pretty similar and no need for soldering in my case.

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...

I was able to fix my BM201 but the date back stopped working. I think if there is no date back no soldering is necessary.

Thank you so much for this! Would this process work for the Konica A4 as well?
If I had a body to repair I would. Although, I would image the process is very similar. Here is a link to the replacement flex cable if you want to give it a go.

Can you recommend a counterbore? The cheap chinesium ones I bought on amazon just rolled right the F over and barely scratched the surface of the soft steel. Very frustrating

I bought mine at a local tool store. I don't trust online dealers for products like that. I recommend you find someplace that specializes in tool sales and repair. They will have the best selections at a good price. The one I have is made by Sev Cal. It's a 5/8 Single Flute high speed steel 41 degrees. I hope this helps!

What grade steel did you use for the jaws and were they hardened/tempered?
@n_oeil5 жыл бұрын
They are hot rolled mild steel. Not hardened or tempered. This project was meant to be cheap and simple. I also don't really have much need for hardened jaws on this vise. I have other vises to do my serious clamping. Thanks for asking. I probably should have clarified that detail in the video.
