Thanks. I'll try that. I put it into my slider, which still seems to have a charge. I pressed the button for 4 seconds and probably then some -- I counted to 4 really slowly. Now it's in the slider, and the battery light is lit. What does that mean? Is it fully charged or charging? Before, I just stuck batteries in there and didn't look to see their satus, just thinking I;d have a fully charged battery when I wanted one. I bet it just needs recharging. I just put my green auto in the slider and did the same thing, and it's acting the same, light lit. I;ve used it, but it still as a charge. But I've used the manual more, so I think that may have just died. Believe it or not, this is the first time my battery has gone dead. I really think it ust be as simple as that.
BTW, no, I didn't drop it, but I did have it in the pouch I just bought for my vaping stuff, and I wonder if, like I feared, the button got pressed in there while it was riding around with me. From now on, I'll be more careful. I have some flimsy plastic cases that the original disposables I got came in, and putting it in one of those might protect it enough. I'll do that. Meanwhile, I have to look up what a battery looks like when it's charged in the slider. Or, to save me the trouble, anyone want to remind me? When the battery is charged, what does it do? Blink? Go out? right now, it's steadily lit.
