problem with d70 exposure

[Bolerus]

Hi.

this (to me) is a bit of an unusual one.

The internal light meter on my D70 seems to have died (luckliy its my backup camera)

I have tried a few test to make sure it isnt me being stupid, including resetting to factory defaults and trying my fuji with same settings on same shot.

the D70 is overexposing everything by a couple of stops (obviously now I have discovered it, I can still use the camera but have to manually expose using a compination of camera expose ,guess how wrng i think it is, manually 'underexpose' take shot, look at screen and readjust)

Unfortunalty I first realised it was the camera while on holiday in majorca and didnt have the other camera with me.

And way, has anybody ever heard of this before, and do you knwo of a possible solution.

Thanks

Have you made sure the exposure compensation isn't turned up?

I know it is a feature of the d50 but not sure on d70?

You sure the lens aperture blades are not stuck?

Simple answer is No, I'm not I will look when i get home, but if that was the case, woudlnt my self metering haev had no effect.

How can I test that?

That would be incredibly embarressing. I am 90% certain I did check that but I will check again when i get home
