Lens Cap Set

What is wrong with my Minolta SRT?
I bought this camera a few weeks ago, used obvs. It worked really well until yesterday. I took off the lens yesterday because the mirror looked dirty, after I put it back on, whenever I change the aperture, the viewfinder actually darkens. This wasn't happening before, this is not really the issue, except that I can't focus unless i have it aperture set on f2, because it's too dark in there. Then, shortly there after, the little circle line inside the viewfinder stopped moving when I adjust the aperture, then the battery died? I just replaced the battery when I got it, and I always keep the lens cap on, i don't think it should already be dead. I used the battery check function and the little arm doesn't move at all. I think that I may have put the lens on wrong or something, the little piece that moves the circle arm doesn't seem to be in the right spot.... I know this is complicated, but I definitely can't afford to take it in to the repair place!
Your depth-of-field preview button is stuck ON. Play with it a little to see if you can loosen it up. If not, you'll have to take it in for repair.
Before automatic apertures were invented, you had to learn to focus with the lens stopped down to whatever f-stop you were going to use. Either that or open it, focus, close it down, and take the shot.
With film movie cameras, you "always" have to focus with the lens stopped down. It's something you have to learn, and follow-focusing is an even higher developed skill, as the subject moves toward or away from you.
