New problem, same camera (https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/forum/messages/2/24049.html?1332314279) I got the POD and contacts fixed, the battery light/connection was flickering so I checked the connections, while I had the camera torn apart I guess a wire broke loose, the white wire attached to the battery test button.(top one) That was a chore to fix, I SUCK at soldering.

Anyway, battery works now but something else must be loose because while testing the meter/shutter everything is fine until I get the top put back on, Literally. I even went so far as having it all put back together except the test button cover, worked good till the cover went on, Pow!, yellow light again... I took off the button cover, wiggled the wires , good again. it will be fine for a while then back to yellow light. If I remove the test button cover and push on the wires it works again. The wires are all solidly soldered so I don't know what to do.
