GENTLY.........use a small screwdriver to increase the bend on the battery contacts to tighten the grip on the batteries.
And/or, once rotated and working, place a very thin piece of foam over them & then replace the cover.
Orrrrrrrr..................tell the Mrs "its stuffed, I need to go get a replacement"
Come back from the shop with another tank, tell her they dont sell them seperate, and the cost & delay to fix yours is not worth it
Two tanks..............boom, you wont believe it darling but I fixed the damn thing
Oh well
