Try a few things before you ruin the calc by opening it.
1) Short the pos and negative batt leads for a few seconds-- you can use the batteries to accoplish this or other metal object like a coin or key.
2) Since the 32s/ii have no BEEP function, the calc could be on, but display contrast set too low. Hold ON and press the [+] and [-] keys to adjust the screen.
3) Do system reset by holding down ON while pressing the top left and top right buttons.
Try all permutations of 1-3 above before getting out any tools of violence on your swap find.
