Nikon F2SB meter working only intermittently

<p>Hi folks<br /> I have a lovely Nikon F2SB that has a little issue. When I turn the meter on, the meter doesn't always activate. I take the batteries out and pop them back in, and presto, the meter works. A couple of weeks later, I take it out, and the same problem occurs. Generally, while I'm shooting, the meter continues to work fine (except on one occasion when it stopped, at which point, I performed the battery removal/reinsertion process, and it started to work again).<br /> Have any of you experienced such an issue? The batteries are new, and the contacts/battery chamber are clean and free of corrosion.<br /> I'm hoping that it is not an indicator of a major problem. I'd be grateful for any advice. <br /> Thanks,<br />Raj<br>

<p>It's in the info that comes up when you click on "post a question". In fact, it's the last sentence in the box that appears on top.</p>
