I would doube if you could get that fixed for less then $80, you can picked up a used K-mount body (Pentax or Vivitar) for half of that or less.

The red plus means you're overexposed. Increase the shutter speed or close the aperture until the middle light turns on.

The battery compartment is on the bottom of the camera. Use a coin to turn unscrew it.
If you need one, you can download a manual from

Remove bottom cover and check for loose screw jamming the transport/cocking levers. Also check to make sure the advance shaft screw has not come loose.

After taking the first shot, hold down the Multi-Exposure button while cocking the film-advance lever. This cocks the shutter without winding the film. You can continue to do this for as many exposures as you want. Just don't hold down the M-E button while cocking after the last exposure.
The Multi-Exposure button is the button on the front of the camera just below the shutter release button.

Yes, the V3800N has an exposure meter.
If the red - lights up, you're underexposed. If the red + lights up, you're overexposed. If the green circle lights up, you're right on. If both the red and green light up, you're within one-third stop of the right exposure.
If you don't see either the green or red lights, then you need batteries. The camera uses two LR44 alkalines or two SR44 silver-oxides. But the only thing that uses the batteries is the exposure meter: everything else on the camera is stil fully functional.

The red S is for start, that is where the film counter resets to when the back of the camera is opened.

You need to add a little more information about what you did exactly. Did you pull enough leader film out? If I had to guess, I would say the film wasn't rolled far enough onto the "advancement reel" so you are not able to advance it because the camera doesn't think it has film in yet.
