You didn't by chance have the meter switch in the 'up' position when you used it the second time? On my Spot F, the meter doesn't register when in the 'up' position with SMC lenses (it does register with the older, non SMC type). I assume that this is a design feature of the camera. If not, it might be as simple as dodgy battery contacts, particularly if you're using one of the smaller diameter 1.5 volt cells. Try cleaning the contacts and, if necessary put some metalic foil in the battery cap to ensure that the battery is making secure contact.
