Did you make sure you put the batteries in right? (I know it sounds silly, but I've done it before. ) If they're in right then you might want to make sure that your tama's battery compartment hasn't corroded. If it has, just try cleaning it out with a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol.

Also, did you put them in hard enough? And did you screw on the back good? It has to be really tight,

And make sure to try pressing the reset button when you put the new batteries in.

If you can clean off the corrosion then you should be fine. Here's a link to some suggestions on how to clean it: https://www.tamatalk.com/IB/topic/175757-best-way-to-clean-off-battery-corrosion/?hl=%2Bbattery+%2Bcorrosion
