Has anyone had an RCX just plain die on them?
- Brand new - used manybe 30min total
- Fresh batteries
- Nothing hooked up to it at the time
- Did it's usual beep on startup as my son switched it on and off to
listen to the sound
I assumed he had stopped pushing buttons when it stopped making
sounds, but when I tried it a few minutes later, it was completely
dead.
It's an RCX 2.0, serial no. 555639 incase anyone is aware of a bad
batch.
Has this happened to anyone?
