Uh, Keith.... Do ya suppose that the battery cover is engaging on the O-ring (which it probably is), then pushing down enough on that engaged O-ring as you screw in the cover, such that the positive metal contact on the battery case is not even making contact with the inside surface of the cover? Before surrendering to the repairman, I'd be tempted to find a larger button cell that will fit in the compartment properly. Just the other day, somebody mentioned a currently manufactured size that fits -- maybe your local office supply store would be a good place to check, since Office Depot seems to carry a good selection around here (Rochester, NY). Or, use the O-ring, but stuff a little wad of foil between the top of the battery and the inside surface of the door? Good luck! Let us know how you make out.
