I bought a 230 slot-loading a couple of years ago that also appeared to die. Turns out there is a small battery inside that may be the problem. You'll have to open it u, which is not all that hard -- use common sense and extra care so you don't zap yourself. I think the battery was about $10 and if you take it with you to a place like Batteries Plus, they can test it to see if it is the problem before you invest in a new one. Best of luck. Michael
