I have a Rollei 35 TE where the meter works but never shuts off. Metering is spot on but the LEDs in the viewfinder are always on even with the lens retracted. The manual says the meter should auto-off after 10 seconds. Has anyone ever seen this behavior? Any ideas where to start looking to fix this? Thanks, astroturtle   Astroturtle Tinkerer Username: Astroturtle Post Number: 6 Registered: 11-2010 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!) Posted on Sunday, April 24, 2011 - 07:27 pm:        Hi everyone. I couldn't find any answers to this anywhere so I took the plunge and tried the repair myself. I was lucky and the meter issues was only a bit of corrosion causing a short. Since info on the TE/SE seemed so scarce, I put together a page documenting that, opening the camera and a few other fixes: http://astroturtle.com/wp/2011/04/rollei-35-te-repairs/ Hope that's handy to someone out there... Take care, astroturtle
