The blinking asterik means low battery. Could be that your replacement batteries aren't full power.
What is really sounds like is a static charge problem though. If you don't have anything stored in memory that you are worried about losing, try taking the batteries out for a full 24 hours. This will let the capacitor drain and performs a static discharge. After 24 hours put working batteries back in.

Hi the chances are the board has got damp at some point causing it to short the only chance you have of saving the calculater is to remove the case and clean any parts of the board that look coroded but even doing this might not get it working as some part could be damaged and their is no way of replacing these parts also check battery terminals are free from corosion

Turn the calculator off if it's not already off. Press and hold the minus key, press and release the ON key, then release the minus key. Does this do anything?
