It does indeed happen with OMs.
Our OM-1n was showing intermittent meter failure (i.e it would just
stop working for a couple of days then come back to life etc etc).
Took it to a local tech who was fixing something else for us.
He took the bottom off and pointed out the nicely corroded battery
contact, with corrosion spreading into the attached wire.
Fixed by replacing the wire.
Problem was due to leaving the battery in the camera.
I guess the moral of the story is pretty obvious ...
