Hey Guys -

After purchasing it a month ago, I have enjoyed my IPOW 2. It's the only eGO type battery I have left as others are box ones, but I depend on it as it easily fits in my pocket.

About a hour ago, it had 75% juice left (via the LCD screen) so plugged it up for a bit to a 2A source. A few minutes later, I unplugged it and at the time the LCD showed battery was almost full. 20 minutes later, I pull it out of my pocket and it's off. I click x5 times to power it on (even though I rarely power them off) and it won't power on at all!

I plugged it back into USB on a computer as well as a 1.5A & 2A plug, but absolutely nothing. I pryed the top off and saw it's design of two wires to the actual screw in plug , a small chipset where the clicker is, and about a dozen wires going down to the battery, LCD, and knob. I played with them while plugged in to try to see if it would come on due to a potential short, but nothing happened. I also didn't see any traces which looked burnt.

Any ideas on how I could fix this? The place I got it has a two week warranty which I'm out of (still going to ask) but would it be possible to even hardware it somehow without adding new equipment?

Thanks!
