It could simply be a loose battery in its holder. A lot
of times, cheap, err, inexpensive electronic devices
have simple bent metal contacts in the battery
compartment rather than springs. When the device is
dropped, the weight of the battery can flatten out the
bent metal contacts. It's a simple repair to bend a
contact back into shape. 8-)
ok.. I'll try that, when I take one apart. Do I bend the while end
or just the part of the contact that may have flattened out?

You'll see a crease in the metal but usually you slip a small flat blade screwdriver behind the metal strip and pry it out a little. 8-)
