Not 100% sure, but not really sure how it matters if it's 125 or not. The auto shutter worked, now it doesn't, but the light meter still does. Seems electrical.

Anyone ever experience something like this?

Thanks for the reply! No, no flash attached. I may have been a little unclear in my initial post.

All settings (M, 125X, and Auto) appear to be shooting at 125. When set to Auto, the light meter is functioning, and displays the correct shutter speed it should be shooting at. When the camera is fired, it ignores the meter and shoots at 125. Same for manual if I set it to a different shutter speed by using the buttons.

Hey,

I got a Pentax ME Super as a gift. It was working perfectly when I got it, but now it seems I can't shoot at any shutter speed other than 125x, with the dial set to 125x. The Auto and M settings don't change the shutter speed. They're stuck at 125x too. The meter is working, and the leds in the viewfinder are working correctly. It just seems that the shutter isn't getting any power to make adjustments.

I just got 2 fresh batteries and tried them, same thing. Meter works fine, but shutter speed does not change even when set to a different speed in manual mode.

Anyone ever have this issue?
