I have a bGeige Nano which I built and used quite a bit in 2014-2015.

I haven't used it much since except to charge the battery occasionally.

This time, the unit won't power on. When I charged it, the light went off after several hours,

but nothing happens when I power it on.

Any suggestions on how to trouble-shoot what's wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hi David,

To begin with the simplest things, verify the battery's "health" with a multimeter.

Next check the contacts (and the solder junctions) of the on/off switch.

I will let you have a brief description of a possible procedure, maybe already tomorrow.

Regards,

Alberto

Hi David,

I hope it may help.
