Has anyone tried to reactivate these? Even though the case is plastic, it would seem that it could be done if the temperature wasn't too high.

I agree with L. Tagrin; if you happen to have an easy dehydration device at home, or know someone who has easy access to a dessicator in a lab, it's probably best to get another package. BUT, I purchased a package of these about a year ago and was disappointed to see that despite not opening the package very often and squeezing all of the air out each time, the unused packets had dark green indicator balls after about a year. I might look for a different product next time, or at least store them in a different outer container.

Theoretically, the only way I can think of to do it would be to put it in a dehydrator overnight. I suspect that for small "home cook" batches, the power cost and labor would be greater than the cost of buying them new.

Hi SenorFrog,Honestly I haven't done that before so I can't make any suggestion.You can visit Thermaltake website or ask their technical support.Thank you.

I just received my case today and the auto wake/sleep function on the case is not working. Any help on this matter please?

Give a proper rating...warn others......maybe send it back for a detective product if u want to go through the trouble...or deal with it and do not make any changes because it may destroy the properties of the case... GL :)

I fought with the case for some time, before it suddenly came undone! Surprise. There's a small space at the top where you can insert a nail or gently a fine knife then apply pressure to the two corners at that same end (on the outside case of course) - and that's how it happened. Good luck!

This happened to me when I first put it on, too! I fixed it by putting the case on from the bottom first then pushing in the top. Hopefully that helps!

It sounds like someone trying to plug it in didn't have the prongs aligned and just pushed too hard breaking something inside. To repair it will require opening the case and seeing what's broken, likely needing some super glue. Sorry, but since I don't have this I can't see what's inside or broken to say more.

I agree with the advice that Sharon offered. If its just the plastic cover, use it without it. If for some reason you can not, buy a new one. New is more fun. Good luck Gerry

You would need to replace the case. This is a great case, I am totally impressed with it.

I've been trying to figure it out too. I contacted the company several times and never heard a response. I've attempted 6x times different temperatures and times and I haven't figured it out yet. I kinds gave up.

I had the same problem, but I figured it out. You have to actually break a sort of seal that is left on the case. Stick your nail (or a prying tool) under the indent and pull up gradually with more force until the stand actually comes out. You should hear a sort of pop that sounds like it is broke, but it will be perfectly fine for future use.

I had the same problem with the one I ordered so I opened up the battery case to see if maybe the betteries were bad or missing. They has become badly oxidied in the case and so were obviously very old. I pried the suckers out with a screw driver, threw them away (being careful not to touch them with skin in case they were leaking any fluids), cleaned the inside with a clorox wipe, and popped some new batteries in and it has worked great ever since. Give that a try and I hope this helps!

Had the same problem. Fixed by carving out the obstructing pieces of the case with a penknife. Took a few minutes and shows poor design on the part of the manufacturer, but haven't had any problems since.

Well Benji A. Aspherheim it does a little bit more than without the case but that is because all the heat is trapped and can not get out but i do recommend that you give it a space or room to let all the hot heat escape. I hope that answers your question. :)

That seems to be a common problem with this case. I traveled with mine last holidays, and even though it has just been sitting in the house all through, I discovered that the locking mechanism was not working. When I acquired it though, I tried it out and it was quite okay.

1st remove the rubber back, the pull apart the plastic case I start at the top, you need to pull apart with firm pressure you can also use a quarter to start the pull apart process. I hope help you

It is a matter of heat; to be as water tight as possible, this case pretty much encloses the head unit so there is not much free air circulation. If you stuff a more powerful head unit in there and crank it up, the heat may build to where it toasts the unit... big bucks literally "up in smoke"! I do not know at what point the plastic of the enclosure will melt, but that is always a possibility also. I suppose if you are mechanically inclined you might mount a 12 volt box fan (like from a computer) to try and move more air through the enclosure. Anyway, heat is the reason, and the more Watts you stuff in there, the more heat you will produce.
