[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Ken, The MR-9 adapter is slightly thicker than a regular PX-625. I would clean the contacts with a little vinegar on a swab to remove any oxidation (wipe the vinegar off so it doesn't continue to etch the contacts). Carefully lift the contacts up so there is good contact. Do not neglect the interior surfaces of the MR-9 as a little finger grease could reduce current flow. I wouldn't worry about the battery test light, does the meter work?

Leica Meter MR fix needed. I'm using the MR-9 adapter, with a 386 battery, in my Leica Meter MR. I just installed a new battery and when doing a battery check, I have to press down on the battery for the needle to swing to the check dot. If I close the battery cover door, there doesn't seem to be enough pressure to hold the battery firmly against the contacts, and I don't get a "good" battery reading. Anybody got any thoughts or suggestions? The MR-9 with a 386 battery looks to be exactly the same thickness as an old PX 625 battery I have. Do the 3 contact prongs need to be pulled up slightly, or some sort of shim inserted? Any help greatly appreciated. TIA, Ken Frazier _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
