are u sure it's a 3.6 V battery and not a 2.4 V battery.
This problem also occurs when one of the 3 cells is defective
(a 3.6V battery is made of 3 X 1.2V )
if that's not the problem your Xtal may be damaged.
maybe you hit it when replacing the battery.
it's a small 1 cm long 2 mm thick metal tube like object
and it's located near the battery.
