It asks for 3 AA batteries and I can't even fit 2 AA in it

The required, (but not included), 4 "C" size batteries fit inside the coal car. One "AA" size battery goes in the pump car, (which has a lantern light, besides the pumping soldier), and 3 "AA" size batteries are needed for the remote control. There are separate switches on the engine, the coal car and the pump car to activate all the features of the train. The directions are explained on the remote control devise.

Usually panasonic lumix uses AA batteries and shouldnt get stuck even if fitted in the wrong way. What most likely happened is that there is some external object in the battery compartment which has gotten the battery stuck there. Try using a set of pointed pliers, this should do the trick.
Hope this support has been helpful?
Thank you for visiting FixYa.

Seems the rechargable battery pack was the problem. Switched to normal AA batteries and it worked straight off.

Hello Lovelest,

I am looking for your model number 39231...
(answers I get... look like the same battery grief).

Getting batteries that LOOK more like your "misfits".

I have also found batteries that LOOK the part of
your description... (examples only)

Better help would require you to DOUBLE CHECK
the model number... and include the NOMEMCLATURE
of your OLD BATTERIES... (pretty please).

The camera uses very common "AA" batteries, but infortunately AA batteries come in various "stengths", and the FE130 requires a very high strength AA battery- you may have a battery, that will fit in the camera, but just doesn't have the power for your camera, Also, the batteries may be "new" to you (you bought them recently), but they may have been on the store shelf too long (most "throw away batteries have Expiration dates on the package and sometimes on the bateries themselves- if they are still "in date"- have someone check them with a battery tester or voltmeter- if you don't have either of those- see if you have some other device ( a small flashlight) they might fit in to check- occassionally batteries go bad. There is also the possibility is that you purchased AA batteries that are rechargable, like NiCad, that don't have to be thrown away), but they need charging before they can be used, and regularly to keep their charge. If you tell us what the battery label says and any date info it might have we can probably know more.

Ensure you have fresh AA batteries installed. Ensure that Wii Fit (or any other Balance Board using game) is fully started before pressing the power button.

And, at the risk of sounding silly, ensure that the button is facing away from the TV.

If you have a manual Dakota RZ-2000 then you will need LR44 watch baterries to operate. You will need two of them. Hope this helps.

if they fit ..yes you can make sure they are inserted properly ..also if using regular alkaline ,I only recommend duracell or high output camera rechargable batteries

The E-10/20N battery holders are designed to fit the longer type CRV-3 lithium batteries and conventional sized AA NiMH batteries. Once installed into the battery compartment the AA sized batteries will make an electrical contact with the camera
