On a couple of Olympus XA sites, it is recommended that one switches on the battery check BEFORE inserting batteries and fastening cap. If battery check is still working when cap is fully fitted, all is OK. I suppose this method does save a bit of head scratching. Also I have come across overtightened caps causing bad electrical contact, do not know if this would apply to the XA.
