@Tanzer, should the 3-rd contact be to the right of the two we are seeing now?

I feel I am talking to an astronaut in space.

Yes indeed. That third contact should be to the right, where it looks like it should be. Wonder how that broke ....

Yeah, that battery compartment is really tight. Can't see how you are going to fix this without taking it apart and possibly destroying it.

Such a shame as the X-90 is a fun little camera. FWIW, a new X-5 is around $200 in the US.
