Joakim,
I had to have the board replaced in my OM4 (non-T(i)) a few years
back when it died on me during some humid jungle tramping.
The symptoms were:
- manual worked fine, including all metering (spot/avg).
- auto always overexposed. It was much worse for long
exposures, but was typically more than a stop or so.
(this suggests some leakage on the board, IMHO).
Note also that the _indicated_ Auto exposure was the same
as the manual, just that when the exposure was made, the
OTF exposure was not correct.
- the self timer ran like it was on flat batteries all the time
(ie: no 'beep beep', but rather a fast 'chirp chirp').
I don't know if this is similar to your problem (is it
overexposing in Auto?)

Subject: [OM] OM4Ti meter question
Hi all,
I am pretty new here so please bear with me :)
I know I haven't contributed with much wisdom on this
list. But hey :) one have to start somewhere.
I asked about a metering problem, or at least what
I suspect could be a metering problem a couple of days
ago.
I never got any answers and maybe It has been covered
before or maybe its something I should know anyway
and not bother all of you with?
I scanned the arcives and the only relevant info was
on the 2n and that there might be a dirty ASA resistor?
So please if anyone could be so kind and enlighten me
a bit about exposure/metering using my 4Ti.
What should I expect when changing from auto to manual,
will anything happen using different lenses/fstops/time/spot etc ?
The reason I ask is because I get up to 2 stops
difference when I change from auto to manual.
I will get some slides back in a week or so and I will
try to post any strange results on the list.
Best regards
Joakim Svensson
