[M100] Tandy 102 Help

[Howard Pepper]

Well, I finally did it.  I forgot to change out the AA batteries back in 
May, like I was supposed to.  I live in Florida, and it is very humid 
pretty much all year long, even with the air conditioner running.  
Anyway I opened my 102 battery compartment this morning and found two of 
the four batteries were heavily corroded.  I removed those batteries and 
cleaned the battery compartment out and put in new batteries, but now 
the 102 won't come on, all that happens is the screen darkens when I 
turn it on.

Does this mean the internal Ni-Cad ran out of juice?  If I leave it 
alone for a while, will that Ni-Cad recharge from the AA's?

Thanks for any/all help.
