Hi,

I am using my dad's old camera for a photography class and I need it to have a light meter that works. I replaced the battery, a PX32 (for a whopping $20) and when I press the battery check button, a green light goes on next to the exposure counter so I know that works. But the light meter is not responding, and that's what I need the most. What could be wrong? Is it something that I can fix?

Thank you!

What do you mean by 'not working'? What are you expecting to see happen? The under/over lamps only illuminate if the exposure is out of range, otherwise, you probably won't notice anything.
