Battery contacts on Classics

However, the contacts, see photo, don't make contact with the battery pack. I've got 2 new battery packs that work just fine with another classic, but they don't work with this one. I've also tried attaching a 4.5v DC power source directly to these contacts and the calculator fails to start.

Anything I can do?

Thanks.

They look clean enough, so maybe they have, or something else has broken away inside.

From memory there are 6 screws to undo, 2 you can see, 2 under the rear label and 2 under the lower rubber feet.

cheers
