Rollei Photography - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

These cameras are pretty rare so your chances of finding a spare back are slim, I did a search and found nothing, only 2 new cameras on ebay for more than $1000. A new camera might be your next option. They are made by Fujifilm so thats where I would look next.

First try a "Batteries Plus" type store - you'd be surprised what they have. If that doesn't work you may have to try getting some eager tech school students to build you a special circuit that will "step down" the voltage from a higher voltage battery and use a wired connection to the contacts. Also please provide a review of the camera - it seems like a great 35mm camera.

If you mean the rechargeable Rollei 66251 battery then you can get them here. They're listed as temporarily unavailable at the present time though you can request an email when they're back in stock.

You can also directly order them from this Japanese supplier (you'll get a fair translation if you use FireFox as your browser and install the FoxLingo plug-in).

I hope that you've found my reply to be of assistance; please spare a moment to rate my answer.

What is exactly the projector make and model?

Caused by build up of dirt inside shutter release button :drip small amount of cleaning solvent like methilated spirits , isopropanol or benzine between the button and external wall using tweezers and then lift the button up and down by inserting tweezers into the inner cable release  thread .
If this does not work you will need to remove the front cover and clean more fully the release mechanism on the inside of the fron cover. 4 retaining screws are under the leather covering in the front ( 2 on top and two on the bottom )

The clue is in your descrition; Old. If the mechanism has jammed, due to age or lack of use that causes tarnisg=hing on the contacts, the motor/mechanism will not load. I would get it serviced at an aurgorised Minolta repair shop. Contact Minolta for a list of authorised repairers.

If your picture frame is not recognizing the 16GB PNY card and displaying a "No Card" message, there could be several reasons for this issue:

1. Compatibility: Some picture frames may have limitations on the size or type of memory card they can accept. Ensure that the picture frame is compatible with SDHC or SDXC cards, as these are the types commonly used for higher-capacity cards like 16GB.
2. File System: Check if the memory card is formatted in a compatible file system such as FAT32 or exFAT. Some picture frames may not recognize cards formatted in other file systems. You may need to format the card using a compatible file system on your computer before using it in the picture frame.
3. Card Reader Slot: Ensure that the memory card is inserted correctly into the card reader slot of the picture frame. Sometimes, improper insertion can prevent the device from detecting the card.
4. Card Compatibility: While SDHC and SDXC cards are generally backward-compatible with devices that support SD cards, some older picture frames may have limited compatibility with higher-capacity SD cards. Try using a lower-capacity SD card (e.g., 2GB or 4GB) to see if the picture frame recognizes it.
5. Faulty Card or Picture Frame: If none of the above solutions work, there may be an issue with either the memory card or the picture frame itself. Try using the memory card in a different device to check if it's functioning correctly. Similarly, try using a different memory card in the picture frame to see if it's able to recognize it. If the problem persists, there may be a hardware issue with either the card or the picture frame, and you may need to contact the manufacturer for assistance or consider replacing the faulty component.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to determine the cause of the issue and resolve it accordingly.
