Did the old battery leak and damaged the circuit board? Can you post some photos of where the buttons make contact on the circuit board. Try cleaning the gold fingers on the board with alcohol and also the conductive rubber strips behind the LCD display panel. -

One day someone filled the kettle without seeing the glue tin.. The tea tasted of fish for some time afterwards! -

As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery. Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.
