I've bought about 10 of these and never had a problem other than the lens getting scratched over time. I'd email the seller.

Hi Cecil.Installing the battery is a little tricky. Make sure you place the battery in the tray that swings out (instead of in the slot on the frame).See figure #4 on page 2 of the manual http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/305/3054100GB.PDF

you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing. Just go slow and dont force anything. you need the old casing!!!!after opening clean off ledges on casing. the batteries have a part number on them. go on line and buy a couple. under $3 apiece. use solding iron to remove and install new one/ones. note how they are wired up and install same way,,, put back together and use just a dab of crazy glue. peace you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing.

The battery I purchased and installed did not have the same problem. Try re-setting your computer "sleep mode" options and see if that works.

Hmm, good question. I wonder if the connection to the battery is bad? Maybe it was connected for the first 14 hours and then got jarred loose somehow? I would probably take the battery out and put it back in, making sure that the contacts seem to be clean and touching. If that doesn't do anything, I would call a local battery store and see if they have any way of testing the battery to see if it is good. If there is nothing obvious wrong with the battery, I would probably call the company that installed the unit and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Your battery maybe shot.... Take it somewhere to have it tested... If it is shot order new one from currie

You may want to contact the seller. I didnt have such issues. You may have already done this, but to double check unplug the power cord just to make sure the battery is working.

There is a switch on the back (near the plug) to turn the battery on/off. If that does not work, then you have a defective unit. I contacted tdk and they sent me another battery for free, but it wasn't the battery so I exchanged the unit at Fry's where I bought it. The second one has worked flawlessly.

There are some guides online to tell you how to replace the battery. It involved de-soldering and soldering, so really only do-able for advanced DIYers. I tried and failed (but learned a lot about soldering on the way, so the $15 I invested was not completely wasted). Of course doing so will also void any warranty, so it's really only something that you will want to attempt if you have nothing to lose.

Did you recalibrate the battery after installing the new ones? According to the manual, this needs to be done. If not, go to their website and read-up on how to do that procedure.

Yes, I took it apart and found a new battery online. The tricky part was getting the rubber bumpers off so I could get all the screws out. BTW, the B&D people told me it couldn't be done.

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

Remove the battery cover from the back and remove one battery. Under the cover there are two recessed buttons. You will need a couple bobby pins or something equally thin to get in there. Press and hold both these buttons down simultaneously and keep them held while you re-insert the battery. Release the buttons and it should be reset. It's a little tricky to hold down both buttons while manipulating the battery, so if you have a 2nd person available, I recommend getting them to help!

Have you tried taking the battery out, then putting it back in? That happened to me a few times and that sorted it. Good luck.

Dead battery? Get a jump! haha Seriously now.Are you sure its the battery? Does it work when its plugged in? As soon as you unplug,does it stop working? If that's the case,I'd take it in to a computer shop to get looked at.Is it still under warranty,& if that's the case,send it in.I haven't looked at my own manual,but can you change the battery yourself? I'd see if I could do it first myself,instead of paying omeone for something you might be able to do yourself.

If It Isn't Doing Anything Then Your Batteries Are Probably Dead. I Went To Walmart To The Jewelery Department Handed Them The Old Battery & They Gave Me New Ones..Just Add Soon As You Install The New Batteries And Put It All Back Together It Should Automatically Come On. Mine Did Not Have An On/Off Switch. I Just Took The Batteries Out When I Was Done.

Try disconnecting the cord and using the battery option and see if it works. If so, that means the problem is with the cord. Call the company, either you can purchase it, or like me, they sent it to me free! great costumer service (at least for me)
