Broken battery door

Minolta is out of the camera business (and has been for years) try Ebay.

Duct tape will hold the battery but it won't make contact.

The Konica Minolta Maxxum QTsi is a nice SLR camera that can accept a wide range of 35mm films. You can buy 35mm films from Kodak, Fujifilm and many other companies.

They're temporarily out of stock, but they may have one soon.

The battery door on these models just hooks under a wire next to the battery hole. They can pop off rather easily as they are a small piece held in place by a spring, essentially.
You can often find the part on ebay for a few $ and snap it in place yourself. The same battery door is used by the XTsi, HTsi, STsi cameras.
Its very possible that you did not lock it properly the last time you put in new batteries. Hold the door down while you turn the quarter as you lock or unlock it. Otherwise the pressure of the battery spring will prevent a good lock.

Your Minolta QTsi Maxxum takes a Konika Minolta AF lens. These lenses work on these Konika Minolta DSLR cameras:
DYNAX 5D / Maxxum 5D
DYNAX 7D / Maxxum 7D

Carry one of your lenses to a camera store and ask them to let you compair it with one for a Maxxum.

The Sony Alpha / Konica / Minolta mount is called a TYPE A bayonette mount. google the Maxxum and see if it accepts the TYPE A mount.
