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.

Thanks for the reply. Yes that would be quite a likely explanation given the circumstances, and if Casio had said that I wouldn't be posting here at all - except to maybe offer it up for spare parts..
@cagimaha cheers for the offer. If I remember, I'll bring it along to the next TNRC and you can use your blowtorch and chain whip on it..

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.
