Help pls: SMC-1 showing an '8' on display and won't let you pick songs.

If I unplug it for a bit and then reconnect, it works for a while, but once that 8 appears, you have to start all over with unplugging again.

I just put fresh C batteries in it and no change. It has worked perfectly for 10 yrs. Help!
 
When I first got mine I had a lot of trouble with that computer and display. One of the problems was the 5 or 6 pin (can't remember off-hand) connector that goes to the two voltage regulators mounted on the metal case. The pins had pretty much disintegrated. Replacing the connector brought it back to life.
