    Stack-on safe keypad died suddenly? Try this simple hack before buying anything.

    Opened up my safe yesterday morning, keypad worked fine.
    Tried to open it last night, keypad failed.
    Thought, "well, ****."
    Went online to price a new pad, $25. Okay, not the end of the world.
    Watched a video on how to install a new pad. Easy enough.
    Then, I noticed a comment below the video.
    Someone had called Stack-on and rather than sell the guy a part, the representative said, try this first:

    Take the battery out, press each button five times, then put the battery back in.

    Today, I pressed each button 5 times in sequence starting from the top then going left to right, until I finished with the # key.

    I'll be damned, it worked.

    Nice.

    I will be posting a PSA on recent AmSec safe, but your story is better.
