You may notice that I have posted elsewhere for a replacement module for this camera, but I would appreciate any help that you guys can offer before I have to go that far.

I can only get a yellow light with this camera, regardless of light conditions or asa selected.

I have fitted a new battery, replaced the pad and cleaned the sliding contacts. I found the capacitor was the original at 3.9 uf, not having this odd value, I have tried 3.3 and 4.7, but it does not make any difference.

Checking the Cds cell shows that it does change resistance from full open to closed, and the range is from 3 to 200 Ohms - I cannot find any reference figures for this, does anyone know if this is correct? If the range should be 3 to 20,000 Ohms, I guess that could be a problem.

Failing this, I think a replacement module will be required.
