Thanks guys, the speed film is correct, as said this light shows in any f stop, even with lens cap on (pitch black).
125✕ and B are in fact the only settings where the light meter doesn't lit up at all, together with L.
This morning I remembered I had another pack of fresh batteries and tried them on the body - nothig changed.
I did some experiments though, shooting at f/22 to my cat in a indoor environment and shooting at the garden with f/1.8 gave the same shutter speed (at least it sounded the same) as 125✕. And also with the lens cap on. This in Auto mode.
I don't know how much service this camera will ever see... since when I got it it has been a problem after the other. At the end of the day I paid for the body £25, but still, (can I write FFS?) I just shot it 12 (twelve) times in it!
I started using it on Saturday evening when the adapter finally arrived and less than 24 hours later it got broken...
