I have a Konica Dimage A200 and have been told that the circuit board has gone, and that it is un-repairable because they cannot locate a new circuit board.

A circuit or wire short will need to be diagnosed with a meter or send out for repair

I have the same problem with my DImageA200 camera, wich won't turn on tried several batteries also checked the batteries by try running a small electrical motor MABUCHI 540 HS on them and it did run. So the batteries are not the problem, i then proceeded to dismantle the camera and battery holder thinking it could be oxide/corrosion but it check out and then i checked every component in the power distribution board no sign of fault. I remeber there wasn't any need for power when connecting the camera as a usb flash mem so i went and did that. No response at all from the cameras card reader. It seems that the CPU board is broken. By the way if anyone is thinking of dismantling the camera and haven't done any camera repair before, i advice against it! The flat cables and the component are so beyond imagine small and frail that you most certainly would damage them, i did it because i have experience of serviceing numerous home electronics. So to all that have the same problem, either buy a new camera or send it to a repairshop capable to order replacement components.

I can be fixed, but will be expensive. Get a local quote.

Good Afternoon,
Because Konica Minolta no longer exists in the photographic industry, many of their support channels have been filtered over to Sony Corporation, who was the purchasing agent of their photography division.
Below is a link to where you can download an English manual for your DiMage A2:

Format the cards in the camera. Make sure you download any pictures that might be on the cards first. Use a card reader if necessary.

I have the same camera. It will use up to a 4GB card as standard and up to 8GB with the correct firmware.

I hope you find that my answer has helped, if so please return the favour by rating my answer.

The firmware for telephoto converter/ wide-angle converter is included in the attached CD-ROM. Please update it if you have DiMAGE series 7i to A1. Please confirm the firmware version and update it if you have DiMAGE A2 and its version is 1.10. DiMAGE A200 users do not need the firmware updating.

No, the camera cannot be controlled from the computer.

The DiMAGE A200 sensitivity can be set to Auto, ISO 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800. When Auto is selected, the camera automatically controls the sensitivity within the range of ISO 50-200.

No, it is not. But the camera can automatically balance the CCD sensitivity to enable autofocus even in low-light condition.
