Battery contacts losing their springiness

My RCX's battery compartment's contacts have lost their springiness,
such that if the RCX is jarred it loses power, and the cells will fall
out if the RCX is held with the battery compartment down.

I suspect a combination of causes:
  * Leaving the cells in the RCX constantly.
  * Having used slightly larger than normal cells.

Is there any way to solve this problem?

If pulling the spring back out does not do the job, try inserting a small piece of soft foam behind the spring contact. -- Bob Fay California, USA rfay@we.mediaone.net (URL) (24 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
