Welcome here, Dave!

Congratulations! Good that you were able to save them.
In order to ensure that the working ones you have won't join the
non-working ones soon, make sure to take care of the hinges or have
it done:

In all likeliness you will get the dead ones back to live by fixing the
display ribbon cable as described in the pages above or have the cables
fixed (or buy new ones, see http://www.pda-soft.de/ematecable.html)

Be aware that is quite easy to rebuild these packs, see the instructions
on my site here: http://www.pda-soft.de/emate_battery_pack.html
If you don't feel up to this, there are people on this list who can and
will do this for you, myself included.
