Batteries contact issue was created by cafdagnone
Hi!
I'm having a very annoying trouble with some of my G&W items: when I put batteries on it, I have to make a true "gymnastics" to make it work because batteries won't work until I force them into the compartment in several different ways before the game finally decides to start its functions. Seems to be a weird type of bad contact...
Sincerely, I don't know what could be exactly the problem. Anyone with the same issue can give any very welcome suggestion on how to address it?
Many thanks!
Carlos.

I cannot be quite sure but i think there is no problem. May be you have to adjust the batteries compartment before using the game with a screwdriver. :-$

take also a look on the batteries itself, there are mostly LR43 and LR44, put LR 43 in LR44 type Games can shown up those issues because LR44 are thicker than LR43 if I remember right, otherwise I agree on the hint from buyard, try to adjust the contact in the batterie compartment and give it a clean with contact spray such as "Contact WL" made for electrical purposes
