Recently rebuilt a 3x series battery pack. Radio Shack sure does make this easy: I got a gang of 5 AA NiCds and clipped two off - already soldered together in series and everything.
Tried the battery pack in a bunch of the collection. Why is it that any battery pack fits so tightly in the 3x series? Always seems like it takes a lot of coaxing to get the thing out.
When removing the pack from a 38E, one of the battery contacts came out with it. Tried soldering it back in place and trying again. This time the other contact came out. Never did see the calc power up.
I fear I've broken a 38E.
Suggestions?
