Most lens have a red spot on them. There is usually a red spot on camera (look on left side). The one on camera body is the unlock and needs to be pushed and held in as you rotate lens red spot towards the camera spot. When they line up you can remove lens. ?
Chances are the spring that holds it in place or the catch is broken. If you don't see it loose inside the camera you'll need to send it in for repair to some repair shop as Minolta doesn't repair them any longer.
Konica lenses do not fit Minolta cameras. I think you messed something up.
Minolta MC and MD lenses worked on the older manual focus Minolta bodies. They will also work on the Phoenix and Seagull clones of the old Minolta bodies.
The Konica lens should only ever be mounted on a Konica camera.
Your 7000i is now a Minolta paperweight. You need to send your 7000i for repair or replace it.
You could also look on Ebay for another Maxxum body to use your lenses designed for the Minolta A mount. As a rule, camera lenses are not interchangeable. You can use any Maxxum lens on any Maxxum body as a rule, but Minolta changed their flash shoe after the original 7000 series. Flashes that work with your 7000i will work with any subsequent Maxxum.
A couple things. First make sure the card you are using is the correct one for your camera. Make sure the battery is charged up or are fresh. Try another card of the type recommended for your camera. Read the manual before going on, and check the kind of card you need.
If the camera still will not work, then it needs repair, if it is worth it to have it fixed. Also check to see if it may be under warranty of some sort with the manufacturer.
The last resort would be to sell the camera as a repair, fix-it or repair camera on a site such as Ebay.
