I'd rather not.  Spares for that are getting very hard to find,
so any special knowledge I have of them is fairly useless.
Anyone who can trace a wire or find a dry joint should be able
to find the fault.  I can't even remember if the battery had to
be present in that model or whether you can work it straight
off the mains -- doing so makes it easier to spot the problem.
