I was at a Brookstone outlet today and they had behind the counter a used one which they said the battery might be dead and had it for sale for $79.
I had a $20 off coupon from a prior purchase, so i bought it today.
I have it plugged it right now (been plugged in for 2 hrs now) the red light is on but will not turn on..try holding the switch for over a minute....no luck and also tried the reset button on the back for a minute too, no luck.
I'll let it charge overnight, if not should I just buy a new battery online, and is it easy to replace the battery?
Thanks for any input.
