Minox 35 GT meter needle dosn't work

[zozur]

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica][FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Hello everyone
I have problem with my Minox 35 GT. Light meter seems to work - different speeds of shutter if light is changing. But light meter needle doesn't move. It doesn't move even when i press battery test button. Batteries - LR44 wrapped in insulation tape.
Any suggestions?
All the best

from the description that could be a fault of the camera, are you sure the batteries have enough voltage to make the camera work?
LR batteries drop in voltage very soon

Batteries was brand new, I will check voltage tomorrow.
Shutter and self-timer works, so batteries are not dead.

if shutter works on longer speeds, voltage should not be the problem, I have a GT that has a different issue with the exposure meter and the shutter, hope you can fix yours
