Actually I have a more interesting problem. The meter on one of my MX's actually
shuts off if it reads more than 1 stop overexposed. It happens if you change f-stop
or shutter speed. I can't fathom what might be wrong. The other problem I have is
probably corrosion on the flash switch contacts inside the body, mount a flash and it
won't fire. The problem went away with the last CLA, came back right after the shop
that did it went out of business. It would have been under warrantee but for that.

The most common problem with MXs is the meter switch either not
activating at all or coming on when you don't want it to (thus draining
the battery). It's usually a very simple adjustment to fix it.
The next most common problem I've seen is a mis-aligned shutter-speed
indicator dial in the viewfinder. Takes a bit of disassembly to get to
it (you have to remove the top plate of the camera) but pretty easy to
re-calibrate it when you do so.
