These are also all good ideas, although from the sound of your symptoms, I don't think you'll need to
attend to the D Cells.

This came from a Google group about
10 yrs ago.
With apologies to Larry Magne and the staff at PASSPORT from
which
this is plagiarized:
* Tools: needle-nosed pliers, #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Optional:
straight ETHYL alcohol, Q-Tip, WHITE (NOT red which will
cause
corrosion) eraser.
1) Remove all batteries and AC adapter
2) Remove seven (7) Phillips screws from back panel, where
they are
marked by arrows - one in the battery cavity, one in each
lower
corner, and four at the top (including three under the
antenna shaft
which needs to be angled up).
3) Lift off the back, placing the speaker to the right. Blow
out any
dust.
4) Optional: Near the DC jack, where the AC adapter plugs
in, is a
small circuit board whioh is marked BATT+. Using the WHITE
eraser,
burnish the 10mm solder blob above BATT+. (Make sure eraser
is, and
stays, clean.) Blow away eraser dust and wipe blob with a
clean cloth.
5) Stretch the AA battery spring SLIGHTLY with needle-nosed
pliers. BE
CAREFUL and DO NOT BREAK the plastic base.
6) Hold the back panel, inside facing you, with the antenna
mount in
the upper left corner. Near the lower left corner is a
stainless-steel
D cell battery tab; it has a pointed tip with a small hole
and points
up slightly. Use the pliers to bend that tip to the right
about 3 mm.
7) Hold the lowest coil of the D battery spring firmly in
place with
your finger and use the pliers to stretch the spring
SLIGHTLY.
8) Optional: Dip one end of the Q-Tip into the straight
ETHYL alcohol,
wipe off the excess, and then wipe the positive and
negative
battery-holder contacts (two springs and two tabs) for the
AA and the
D cells. Immediately burnish those same ends with the dry
end of the
Q-Tip.
9) Replace the back panel, placing the short screw in the D
battery
cavity.
10) Error 3 should be gone. If not, repeat procedure but at
step 6
tweak the pointed tip only and additional 1 or 2 mm.
* Time: about 10 or 20 minutes.
The above is out of the 2002 edition of PASSPORT. Hope it
helps you.
