Thanks, Guy. I wasn’t aware there was a service manual; I’ve now downloaded it.
On mine, I put fresh batteries, these last 48-72 hrs, and poof, the thing is dead again. I thought I might open it up and see if a cleaning might help… but removing the 3 LCDs and the joystick look challenging already.
I think I’ll keep it as a useless ornament, a memento of what it once was!
There were originally (yesterday!) some photos in the link to lausvi’s post but they seen to have disappeared. Hopefully they will re-appear as I recall they were quite useful.

I have at least some of the pics still, I can dig them up tomorrow if the archived thread doesn’t return.
I did get sound back for a while with a new speaker wire, but it didn’t last long (mechanical stress due to the movement with the alarm button) and I haven’t bothered to re-do the whole thing again.

I probably have the same problem; no more sound.
Seems really not easy to open it…
And need to find an improvement for this cable stress…
