A Dead 32SII?
Message #1 Posted by Peter on 9 Mar 2001, 11:23 p.m.

A guy stopped in the electronics store where I work today, since his 32SII wasn't working. Convinced it wasn't a problem with the batteries, he conceeded the fact that it was "dead" and bought a new one, giving me the old one. Question is, can I make it live again? I really don't have much to say about it other than it won't turn on, the batteries are fine, and it looks in good exterior shape. Any suggestions on where to start?

try shorting the battery contacts with a coin. My 32Sii fell out of my shirt pocket and this was the only way I could get it to work again.

That seemed to do it. Thank you very much.

You got yourself a free 32SII. Glad to be of help.

Bert
