First, you can download the manual for free at http://www!.geocities!.com/eskoufos/fmm!.ht!.!.!.

Are you sure you bought the correct batteries!? It requires (2) 3V CR2 Lithium batteries!. Take the batteries out and check for corrosion!.

If you have the correct batteries and no corrosion in the battery compartment then you may need to take it to a shop!.

If it needs repair I suggest checking with Garry at http://www!.garryscamera!.com He charges $55!.00 + $8!.00 shipping to work on your camera model!. Garry has serviced several of my Minolta cameras and I've been very satisfied with his work!.

Should you ever decide to buy a DSLR, any lenses you have for your Maxxum will work on the Sony DSLR cameras!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
