Did you try rebooting it with the new batteries as described in the FAQ?
I'm not sure exactly what he tried after inserting the new batteries, but
probably not. And, I think I'm having 'nuther one of those "seniors
moments" cuz I can't remember where the FAQ is.
URL, please???

B5) Every other bar on the bargraph on my OM-{2S, 4(T)} doesn't
work. Can I fix this myself?
Yes. It happens when the microcontroller gets into a confused
state, possibly due to a heavy load on a weak battery.
(The battery then recovers when the load is taken away).
Reboot your camera as follows: Switch meter to Manual.
Switch shutter to B. Toggle meter between Manual and Auto
a few times, then back to Manual. Then switch shutter back
to an automatic speed. Also check the batteries and clean
their contacts. If you replace them, note that SR44 (#357)
is best, SR44P (MS76) is second best, and LR44 (MS76A) (alkaline)
should be used only if the others aren't available.
SR44 is often marketed as a calculator battery; it's a
low-internal-resistance version of the SR44P.
Thanks to Michael A. Covington
Not exactly the same, but it might help.
