A friend usually does things like this for me. He changed the batteries in both my Neos about 18 months ago. I didn't watch; didn't want to make him nervous that I was protecting my 'babies'.
I hope you find a solution and get your alphie up and running.

Actually, I never tried that. I'll give it another shot!

Not sure which mine is - it has copyright (or something) information about Australia & New Zealand. I didn't even know they were used here at all.
I'll try another battery. I'm getting less frightened to "examine the entrails" with every attempt (although, still careful).
You know, when I see how "simple" a NEO is, I wonder why the Freewrite didn't just copy it and put GT stripes on it and bring it up to date. Perhaps it's the clooooud that makes it so expensive.
