A friend of mine gave me a Pentax ME. I looks like it works well, mint condition. Anyway, I was about to use it for the first time, and it seemed as if the batteries were dead. I looked up which batteries this camera takes: silver-oxide MS76 such as energizer EPX76, panasonic SP76, duracell MS76, sanyo G13/MS76, or LR44. I went to walgreens, and I got an energizer battery, which is supposed to replace LR44. There was still no dot near the light meter. Then, I tried the engergizer 357, which is supposed to replace the engergizer EPX76 and LR44. The light meter still isn't working. I have one more set that I'm going to try, which I doubt will work. These are all 1.55v batteries. Do I need a higher voltage? The only other ones that I saw that were 3v were way too large to fit in the camera. Should I go to a camera shop to purchase these? Does anyone know how many volts it take to power the light meter in this camera?
Thanks
