[Duo2400] Re: Duo 280c - Also won't start

[Lela Tong]

Hi Mad Dog,

When in storage, the battery was taken out and stored separately. 
But when I took it out of storage and tried to start it, I put the
battery back in.

Why?  Would it help to take the battery out?  

The battery is dead, methinks.

I tried holding the reset button for 45 seconds -- the light comes
on but nothing else does.

Any ideas?
