I recently aquired an XD 11 and am almost positive the light meter was working before I removed the lens mount ring. Now all I get is the red underexposed arrow. Does removing the lens mount ring effect the light meter in any way?

I also had the shutter open on bulb for a few minutes while gluing the lining back down on the side of the mirror box. Have I exhausted the batteries to the point the meter no longer functions?

Oh, I see; I bent that cute little brush contact. Not a bad little camera. If only the leatherette aged better...
