How To Replace Bottom Capacitor on Minolta X-700 + Reliability Rant (Also applies to X-500/X-570)
Update: Check your battery cap for conductivity before trying to replace the capacitor! A lot of times corrosion on the battery cap will prevent the camera from power-on https://youtu.be/x0bQj0OfR5A
Some tips on replacing the capacitor on Minolta X-700. This is a well-known problem and happens on most of the cameras as of now (The year 2022)... Basic soldering skill is required to do the soldering of Cap 1 (capacitor on bottom of the camera). Advanced soldering skills and lots of extra time are required to replace Cap 2 (capacitor at top of the camera), Cap 2 replacement is NOT covered in this video.
Now if you have no soldering skill, I highly recommend watching this how-to-solder video as the guy explained and demonstrated it perfectly: https://youtu.be/f9fbqks3BS8

And this is the best capacitor you can get for the X-700/X-500/X-570. I bought a pack of 10 for like $10 bucks. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/panasonic-electronic-components/4SEP150M/4204183
Warning! #1:This video is provided for informational purposes only. I'm not responsible for damages caused to your camera should you decide to perform a capacitor replacement on your own camera.
Warning! #2: Be sure to check polarity on the caps before you align and solder it onto your camera, X-700 have different polarity on the circuit board as compared to X500/X570 so make sure to double, even triple check polarity during removal of the existing capacitor on your camera.
