Asahi Pentax meter on my Pentax S1.

This is the circular style clip on meter which takes a 625 battery. At first I thought it was completely dead but if I toggle the switch between, H and off, it comes to life in one particular spot! This seems odd to me as I think that the H and L settings are just aperture changes and not electronic. It shows no sign of life in the L position. It is in almost new cosmetic condition and the kit it came with is superb and has been well cared for. Is there any hope of bringing the meter back to life? I would appreciate very much any suggestions
