Hi all, I've got 2 XD in my collection, but now I found both are going to hv a small problem, maybe any one can help to slove
1 - one of my XD cannot change the ISO setting and +/-EV recently, the light meter is working but I think is only around ISO80(check with DSLR), is that something wrong about the circuit?? How can I solve it??

2 - one of my XD got light meter problem last time when I clean the old stuff with lighter fluid which stuck on the focusing screen, I hv made it carelessly which the fluid flowed into the gap around the focusing screen, after that the light meter always below 1s at the indoor environment (night time) and around 1/60s~1/30s at the indoor environment (day time) without attach the lens, but the light meter will be fine when I keep it in a "de-moisture" cabinet. When I use it in day time outdoor, it is OK but sure it's night meter will not be OK after some hours later, I must use a "de-moisture" machine to dry before I put it back inside a "de-moisture" cabinet. Can anyone tell me how to slove this issue???
Thanks al
