Sounds like the battery has died. Will it run on its battery at all? _________________ Darren Griffin |

Then the rechargeable internal battery has died. It can be replaced but it may not be economic? _________________ Darren Griffin |

Pull their arm off!! - that's cheap to get an excellent device back up and running - cost you nearly 10 times as much to get a new equivalent and it won't be as good as the 700. _________________ Dennis
