Well, I've had this for a couple of years now, bought it third hand from someone on another forum, and it doesn't want to work.
I've cleaned it so far as I am able but despite a short resuscitation it now seems to be dead.
I don't feel inclined to send it back to USA.
Is it worth sending it anywhere else, or is it useful to anyone for spares?
Mods, feel free to put this post somewhere else if it's inappropriate here..

Have you cleaned the contact inside that the battery connects too. Could be quite oxidised given its age.

It's a version 1, brushed stainless I think, with extended end cap.
I'm not sure that I have cleaned it thoroughly..
Nothing lights up when I have the battery in, but it lights up briefly when I take the battery out..
I suspect this is beyond my very meagre skills..

I'd say it's worth cleaning the end cap spring where it contacts the battery and the contact inside that the positive of the battery connects too. Worth a try and will only take a couple of minutes.

scummerlee is going to take a look at it for me because he lives locally so I'm going to hold back for now..hoping it can be revived. It's a mini with extended end cap.
I'll let you all know how it pans out but it turns out to be knackered then theinhaler has first dibs...
I think maybe a good clean might be the answer..
