ok, i'm just guessing it's a shutter problem, but everything else is
working and all i see is BLACK.

i was thinking that chip is broken, but i suppose that everything else
would've stop working... but that all could be wrong of course.

i still suspect it's a shutter problem because when i shoot i hear a
sound that's different than it was before, while the camera was
working.

when that sound first appeared, i got that last mage right... and none
afterwards.

any help?

thanks

All you see is BLACK? Where? In the viewfinder? On the memory card?
Coming down the USB cable? All things considered, my guess is that the
help you need is at the nearest Minolta authorized repair station.
