If you can't find 3 fresh batteries, just use 4 depleted ones to have your machine up and running...

I would rather say: If you don't have batteries of the required type put in as many smaller ones as you can fit :-) I wonder if the extra 1.5V do any harm to the calculator?

Apparently, no.

This is a 32S that I was negotiating to buy. The display was very dark, although the calculator is mint. I asked the vendor some pictures and he sent me this. He made a video of the calculator on.
The batteries was LR43. I don't know if the lr43 is smaller, but looks like it is.

Is the display darker because of extra 1.5V? Was a capacitor or resistor damaged? Well, I can't answer these questions.

Edit: the vendor told me that they're fresh newly installed bateries
