sx-70 doesn't respond

I did manage to remove the film pack, but the camera didn't respond to a brand new one. What could possible be wrong if film pack is ok? I got this model on eBay and I'm afraid I was taken...the seller swore it works great. Help!

If the camera is not responding to the new film pack (make sure you are using the sx-70 packs) then the camera is broken. The batteries are contained in the film packs and that is the only piece that enables the camera to shoot. The battery sensors inside the body is probbaly the problem and not worth the cost to repair. The SX-70 cameras are only valued at $15-$30(mint).
