I haven't used my RCX for a while, I found it doesn't work when I want

The RCX2 tools, nqc, lejos and WinNQC all can't find this RCX, but it
can be found in 1% chance even if I put it next to IR Tower, does it

It should turn on once for a short time and then for a longer time as the boot sequence is completed. Check the cable connections at both (...) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
  Re: My RCX doesn't work!
 
(...) I suppose the obvious question is: Have you checked the batteries in both the RCS and the IR tower? And I do mean have you CHECKED the batteries - never assume that a "new" battery right out of the package hasn't been sitting on a store shelf (...) (24 years ago, 24-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
