IF that is what you mean, you'll need to modify the pack.  The test 
button frame is plastic and epoxied into the chassis.  Often the epoxy 
fails, the frame pushes in and shorts the test led  to the always "on" 
position.  What we used to do at Olympus (for UPI) was install a 1.4mm 
set screw through the edge of the chassis to hold the plastic frame in 
place (along with a new bead of epoxy. )
Also, the test button itself may just get grimy and get jammed in when 
pressed.
