hi!
I just bought a yashica electro 35 gs, from the outside it looks in very good conditions. I couldn't find a battery so decided to "create" kinda battery adapter. with a 6V battery. Now, the check light works. the underexposure light works, the overexposure light doesn't. speed is 1/500 or B, if the camera thinks the exposure is OK it'll use 1/500, if not, it'll light up the underexposure light and if i press the shutter it'll use B for speed. no other speeds available. what could be wrong? how can i fix this camera? CAN I?

This could be the "pad of death" problem. Check out the Yashica Guy's site for more information.

It can be fixed, but it's not the easiest thing to do. I managed to fix one.
