I've got a similar era G-Shock and the case back is held on with screws around the perimeter, battery is readily available and I've changed it a few times with no mishaps. Happy to take a look if you want me to when you get it back?

If it has sat for a few years with a dead battery, the battery has likely split. If that is the case, the movement is dead. Most likely the reason they are saying that a new part (movement) cannot be sourced. It will prob have two batteries in it, a 377 and a 2032 or something.

well, it was working fine a few years ago and hasn't been touched since so I was assuming it was just the battery that needed replacing. Casio just say they 'can't get the parts' though, without being specific, so it may well be more trouble than it's worth either way.
I'll get it back.. and probably leave it in a drawer for another 10 years pointlessly.
