The shutter cocking/release/etc in the M6 is purely mechanical and has nothing
to do with the power supply.  You are right to note the the speed dial was set
to  something other than "B", aware that setting the control to "B" is the
equivalent of turning off the electronic circuit.Your battery got old and
died.  (Assuming and old battery.  If it was a new battery, and you know it
was a good, new battery, and it died prematurely, consider the possibility of
a short.)
