I've replaced the battery and still nothing.
The Meter just quit, the battery test light dosen't come on.

When you click the shutter with the lens cap on in "auto" the camera still works as if in "M90".

I may have put the batterys in upside down at one time!!!! The Battery's are new.

Any Ideas how to get it working will be appreciated.

Hi Fred:

I don't recall all of the details, but remember that in the EM the meter doesn't begin working until the frame counter reaches #1.....

If it's dead after that point, you may have a corroded/broken wire from the battery box. at 25 years old it's about time for little things like this to start showing up.....
