Thank you! I really hated to toss this beautiful device which continues to represent the unmatched low-cost precision manufacturing of Japan. How could it just stop working. Thanks to your tips, I used a jeweler’s loop to discover the battery lid metal contact (which appeared fine to the eye) was completely brown. Strange, there was never a leak, but somehow it corroded. Perhaps humid bathroom storage. Anyway, a little filing down, pulling up on the springs, and it’s working again!
