Thank you all, but there is no further discussion necessary. I dismantled the FRE gear completely at now it is visible, that is cracked in 3 pieces.

Yes, I have cleaned the screw-thred and the contacts as well. I think, I will try without batteries but direct DC 3V feed. Maybe she is sensible on the batteries...?

Can you maybe do me a favour and tell on wich page is the corresponding measure points and values?

Hmm, I think between body and finder are no any electric connection. After deeper cleaning of battery compartment and contacts the reaction of the light meter changed. Now it reacts on lightsource changing: the read oout values are variing between -1 (harsh sky) to -8 (darkness). But still not working correctly. Any new ideas?

Hi, yes, I forgot to write: I have tried with 2 new sets of batteries (Varta and Duracell). Is there maybe a voltage leak or contact problem of the batteries?

Dear all, I hope I will find an answer in this community. Ive got a Nikon F3HP with problems. This is not the 1st time I am fixing a camera but now I cannot find the solution. I have checked: - all shutter speed are switchable and seems to be accurate - film counter works as it should: the 1st three shot are limited to 1/80 speed as in the manual written - FRE is cleaned. Wirings and solderings are OK. AI coupling from F-mount is OK, wire connection exists. - mirror mechanism and shutter OK Malfunction: - the light meter seems to be completely out of its order. In Auto mode in LCD is -8- visible. This values doesnt change if the light source is changing (from complete darknes thru lens cap thru pointing to harsh sky) - the -8- value stays if lens aperture is changed (from F1.8 - F22), no change in the metering read out - in Manual mode the shutter speeds are correctly displayed but the "-" sign is visible in every condition. Current situation: in the repair manual there is only one time mentioned this sympthom with checking the film counter. I dont know how to proceed further. Has anyone experience with this issue? Thanks in advance!
