SOURCE: How do I change film in my Minolta xg-a camera ?

1. Remove the batteries and replace with proper alignment of POLARITIES positive and negative.
2. Turn on and off for two or three times.
3. Load the film in the champers correctly.
4. Aim the camera at the proper lighting objects and try with the different aperture and speed settings.

If everything lights in the camera when you test it ,it means the battery is alright,try this trick"Rotate the film advance connection at the bottom of your camera using a nickle (not the battery compartment) the one directly at the bottom of the shutter and should click if there's not you have some bigger problem.Good luck.

IT TAKES TWO MS 76 BATTERIES. DIFFERENT BRANDS WILL CALL THEIR BATTERY BY A DIFFERENT NUMBER. AN LR 44 IS THE SAME, AND THERE ARE OTHERS AS WELL. ANY DECENT CAMERA STORE SHOULD CARRY THESE. IT WILL TKE 2 OF THEM.
