Help needed: Leica R3 battery test button stuck

Hi,

Today I got some new batteries for my Leica R3 MOT, as the old ones were flat. After putting them into the camera, I noticed that the battery indicator LED was on and it stayed on.

After some scrutinizing I found out that the button one must push to activate the test light did not return properly (thus always making contact). That explains why the previous set was flat...

I was able to pull the button up with some tweezers, but I would like to repair this properly. Does anyone of you have experience with this or know how difficult it is to get to it?

Thanks in advance.

I wonder if you've tried asking this on the Leica User Forum site - http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/. I expect that some dismantling will be needed but it's not something I'd even dare think about!
