Eotech went out on me. Spontaneously

[speeddreamz]

So my eotech starts blinking, figure it means the batts are going low. I change them with 2 diff pairs and the original low batts. The thing won't go back on, tried both directions on all 3 sets, tried being more careful when putting it back, no luck. I did not drop it strike it etc. Wierd ? Figured I woulda smacked it and it would go out, but no a simple batt change? Advice?



Btw eotech 512 a65 rev f AA model

Sounds like you need to call up L3.

told me it might be abattery gromet issue? im not sure where the gromit is? toward the end where the battery goes into the unit or inside the battery carrier (plastic)?

Yup, they are in the battery case. Mine were all gummed up. When I had the same issue as you I took some cotton swabs and dipped them in alcohol and cleaned the battery tray. I also took out the grommets to clean too. Ever since cleaning I have not had any problems.
