X570 viewfinder

there are two tiny mirrors behind the name plate, remove the lens and then the two small screws holding the name plate on. pull the plate off and try to find one of the mirrors that fell off. they are glued on but most often the top one falls off.
You may have to shake the camera facing it down. eventually it will get into the mechanism and jamb the camera.
if it did not fall out, take the screws off the bottom cover, remove to see if it fell to there. when found use contact cement to reglue the mirror back onto the mirror holder. the holder is just in front of the prism.

Shutter stopped working
If the metering lights go out when you press the shutter release fully down, then the camera needs the shutter capacitors replaced. If they stay on, it could be the release magnets on the shutter unit itself, or worse.

Film won't load on Vectis 300 MinoIta
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.

I tried to use a 16GB PNYcard in my picture fram and it would not work. It said "No Card" on the screen. What's the answer?
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Driver for target australia film scanner f100
I own the Target AU F100 film scanner and have the original CD. It has a Driver directory on it, which includes DriverInstaller app and 32 and 64 bit subdirectories. It installed recently on my Win 10 64 bit PC and worked ok, despite being Win XP/Vista software vintage 2010.

Sony DPF-d72n digital photo frame will not switch
Solved!
My Sony DPF-D72N frame is a few years old. Today I unplugged it (fool!) and plugged it back in. The screen would flash on and off to black. Power button light would turn on and off. After plugging and unplugging it a few times, it would not turn on at all.
I tested the power supply, and it showed 5V. I was about to throw the frame away, but on a whim, I tested a 2nd power supply. It worked!
So even though the power supply looked like it was working, it was only without a load on it.
Replace your power supply!
I happened to have a spare 5V 2A power supply, so I just chopped the end of the dead power supply and soldered it onto the new one.
And we all lived happily ever after.
