K1000 Pentax camera. (Problem with exposure meter)

[krnkamei]

ok, so I'm in photography class right now.
The school lends me a K1000 and i go home and put the film in.
The film iso is 400 and my ASA is set to 400.
but the problem is, my exposure meter doesn't move, it stays a tiny bit above zero and im not sure what is causing this.
can anyone give me ways to troubleshoot this problem? I really need some help here... thanks.
i will check back as soon as someone replies. ^^.

Also, this is simple, but replace the battery. Seems, to help if memory serves me correctly. I have two k1000's in the closet!1
