I have a 293-340 series Mitutoyo micrometer, and it started blinking dashes, like it lost the origin, and after few days (I didn't touch it) went blank. So I replaced the battery (turned out the old one leaked, not much mess, cleaned out fine, no rust)
However, with the new battery the micrometer won't zero. It keeps blinking dashes and does not react on the "Origin" button. No error code, nothing, just blinking dashes in all the numerical registers on LCD. The battery seems fine (a voltmeter reads 1.59v).
The micrometer was barely used but out of warranty already.
Any idea what could be wrong? Faulty button? I'm fairly comfortable opening it up for repair if needed
