I have one of these as well. The batteries died and now the thing
won't work. I tried the shorting trick, left it alone for weeks,
nothing seems to make it come back to life.

Suggestions? offers?

I have one also. I love it. Amazed the batteries ran down.....Radio Neder did
a battery test and it worked for over 250 hours on one set of cells.

Will it work when plugged into a wall adapter? Did you test the replacement
batteries to insure their good? As a last resort, put in fresh batteries, turn
it on and tap it slightly while on to see if that works. Could be a loose
connection somewhere.
