Wasn’t exposed to rain or anything. A month ago we charged a battery with it no problem. Went to 100%. Went to use it again and after plugging it in nothing on the led display came on.

It’s day ever since. I plugged it in just now and the display came on. It showed some startup info like normal then turned off. I hadn’t attached it to a battery or anything.

It wasn’t dropped, doesn’t smell like anything burned up, didn’t make any noises or anything.

I don’t want to just throw it away before asking people who may have an idea. Jewgle searches were no help.

Old stereo trick for receivers that did the same ( short circuit detected and safety shut down) , open it, find the main transistors (attached to heat sink usually), carefully unscrew, bend away slightly, clean old thermal paste away, replace thermal paste. It gets conductive as years go, may also find a local electronic repair guy on Facebook that will fix it for $30…

$30 fix would be worth it. Worth a look. Thank you.

Stupidbird is more knowledgeable than me, there are issues with older capacitors, they just sort of go bad. A good tech will be able to change them inexpensively if that’s not your thing.
