Minolta Freedom Zoom Explorer EX 35mm Point and Shoot Camera Questions & Answers
How do I get the remote RC-3 control to function?
You can download a manual for this camera at NODEVICE. The kink is below. Page 3 tells how to use the remote. At this time, these are fairly old cameras so even if you have the right battery for the remote it may not work. I have the earlier version of this camera and loved it. I mourn the passing of film.

Sounds like a broken gear or linking arm. It will cost as much to fix as to replace. You now have a very nice Minolta paperweight, lol.
Those neat little film cameras are now a thing of the Ebay, LOL. Since many are dumping them for digital, they're quite available at good prices now.

Minolta 404si Dynax doesn't shoot
It sounds like you may have an issue with the shutter mechanism, most likely caused by a worn out or dirty shutter. I would recommend taking it to a professional camera repair shop to have it checked out. They may be able to diagnose the issue and repair it or, if necessary, replace the shutter.
If you are not comfortable with taking it to a professional, you can try to diagnose the issue yourself by taking a few test shots with the camera on a tripod in different lighting conditions. If you are able to get some consistent results (e.g. the shutter always fails to fire at the same point or in the same lighting conditions) then you may be able to narrow down the problem and focus your troubleshooting efforts.
