In a situation like this, you will have to drop the tank to access anything. If you have covers to protect the underside, you will have to remove it/them. Pretreat the screws with WD-40 or some other rust penetrating lubricant. Use hand tools to remove, not power tools; power tools on these rusted screws get the heads snapped off quite a bit. FYI, consider replacing all the screw with stainless steel or galvanised screws. The ones used at RV facilities are cheap and rust easily. Personally, I upgraded from the S2 button type screws they used to a hex head, self tapping screw and zinc plated washers to protect the plastic and prevent cracks & rips.
Back to the tank, once you locate the panel and remove it, you will see 2-3 angle iron pieces that hold the tank up in place. Disconnect the pipes and anything else connected it possible before removing the angle iron. Once you get it out, you can give it a good cleaning and find the leak. You might be able to fix the leak, depending on severity, replacing old plastic would be better. If your tank have the wires for sensors to know how full the tank is, be careful as these are small and fragile, keep track of the colors so you get them back on in the same place.
That's a current problem.
OR the screw is rusted in place. So then use WD40 or eqivalent to free the screw.
Or the parts inside are worn. Remove the friction screw. Then, remove the 4 bolts holding the swivel cap. Remove the entire engine from the swivel to prevent it fall on the ground. Replace the worn parts.
Usual cause is either spillage or impact to the flash unit. Most spillage is on the two flash pivots. Pull on top cover when it is attempting to go up to free it and remove the screws underneath and pry off the flash cover. You can now reach the pivot screw (many times rusted - remove, scrape off rust, and put on grease and re-install). BE VERY CAREFUL. THERE IS 300 VOLTS ACROSS THE FLASH TUBE AND YOU CAN GET A NASTY SHOCK!!!!
Try an easy out tool found at any hardware store. First use the appropriate size drill bit out the easy out kit and drill into the damaged part of the screw, then use the easy out tool in a drill in reverse slowlyuntil it grabs the screw and backs it out. You could get some PB blaster lubricant and spray the screws, Trust me yould never use WD-40 again. Hope this helps.
If your calculator does not turn on, then there is every tendency that the battery is weak. So replace the battery and try again. But if replacing the battery does not solve the problem, read further;
Check the batter seat. I mean the position where
the battery stays, look if you will find any rust of the battery
terminal (metal). Rust can prevent the battery from contacting the unit,
preventing it from receiving power. Get a flat screw driver, scratch
the rust off, fix the battery back in and try again.
If there is
no rust, then there is probably some disconnection inside the unit. This
can be between the battery terminal and the board. Get a screw driver
and remove all the screw. Take the unit apart and check for any lose
contact between the battery terminal and the board.
when
you said it suddenly died, do you means after putting in new
batteries,it did not turn on at all? If yes, below are some reasons for
this problem;

How to remove the access panels.... There are many different styles of dishwashers built today. One of these should point you in the correct area's to look for the screws that hold the access panels on the dishwasher. Remember, remove power first. The most common configuration of the access panels used today... This is the newer "over sized" door, looks like a one panel front, but there still is small access panels on the very bottom.... Some Asko Dishwashers.... 2 Torx # 20 screws hold the toe plate on. Once toe plate is off, 2 Torx screw hold the lower panel on and the 2 brackets the hold the toe plate on have a springy locking tab, press the tab away from the bracket and the brackets will pull straight out. The service panel has 4 or 6 Torx screws holding it on, 2 are pointing up in the corners.
Motor and pump assembly screw and impellor help....
One of the most common question that I get on a dishwasher repair is "how does that motor and pump impellor screw come out?" Inside many dishwasher pump assemblies is a screw that goes through the upper impellor and screws directly into the motor shaft. Since the motor shaft and screw are made of metal...you guessed it...they can / will rust. The screw can rust and become very tight and difficult to remove!! These screws are normally a right ( regular ) hand thread, socket or nut driver can be used to remove the screw. One hard thing to do is to hold the impellor still so the screw can be removed, they often just turn together. The impellor may be jammed with a screwdriver to hold it still so the screw can be removed...sometimes the impellor can be help still by placing a rag on it and hold tight with your hand, the rag will help prevent a sharp edge on the impellor from cutting your fingers. The odd time that screw is too rusted into place, soaking a little rust buster or 3in1 oil on it over night may help loosen it. Sometimes trying to tighten the screw a little at first will help break it free. There are some tool that can be purchased to help hold the impellor stillso the screw can be removed, these are only for a few models and pump assembly styles.
instead of motor check out the motor impeller that can make the high pitched noise if rusted or cracked.

WLP seal tool helps center and install the pump seal Frigidaire seal - impellor remover and install tool Once the screw is removed, the next obstacle is the impellor can also get stuck onto the motor shaft. Many times I have to break off the old impellor. A sharp blow straight down with a hammer and flat screwdriver will often crack the plastic impellor...careful not to damage the pump body! If the motor shaft has indeed rusted, clean it up really good with sand cloth.
