    I said cracked - intermittent functional. I had a similar problem as described by OP, and that was the professional's diagnosis.

    <p>If you are certain that your batteries are fresh, then I think it is a cracked FRE resistor - a common problem in these now very old FE cameras - It can cause all kinds of intermittent problems related to open shutter/meter readings. This issue can drive you crazy as the problems can come and go for no apparent reasons. It is not a DIY fix - to my knowledge - and will most likely require a donor camera. I would return it and find another FE (I love that camera - worth pursuing :) )</p>

    All is fine. No need to worry. Great lens, but you need to be ahead of the decisive moment - it is a slow reacting camera - best for still objects.

    Simple to verify. Put it on a stable surface under a constant light source. Take a reading. Without moving the meter: Put a piece of material (moist paper for example) -the same size/color density of the buff- somewhere on the dome. Take another reading. If there is a difference in readings, it matters, otherwise it doesn't.

    Do you see the hair extend beyond the patch? If not, it may be the silvering on a prism which have cracked.

    Google: Nikon FE cracked FRE resistor for a few suggestions on how to adress this problem.
