I have fixed things by opening them, seeing the number of cells. Cut them apart if necessary, remember it is busted junk. >From the number of cells times 1.2 volts you can determing the voltage. I solder wires to the old battery connector, string them out of the box, and con;nect to another standard type of battery, or a FILTERED power supply; of near the extimated voltage. This worked on a type and speak, and that was actually all that was wrong with it. So eventually I found batteries to fit in the case. The hardest part was to clip the old batteries out, and not damage the board.
