Checking in to see if anyone else has had this issue.
I have an EoTech 512, revision F, that I bought new in the spring of 2005. No problems at all over the years and a couple of thousand rounds through the Bushmaster .223 M4-clone it has been mounted on. I hadn't touched it in a couple of months until this past Thursday. I got it out, put in a new set of batteries right from the wrapper and headed to the range. At the range, the EoTech fired up without issue. I fired 40 rounds of .223, then turned it off while I switched to the .22lr conversion kit. Two minutes later, the EoTech wouldn't turn on. Pushed all the buttons, took the batteries out and wiped off the terminals, nothing. I finished the range time with irons and stashed the rifle. This evening, I get the carbine out for some dry fire. The EoTech worked fine for about thirty minutes, then I turned it off and walked back to the gunsafe. Right before locking it up, I checked it again, and again the EoTech wouldn't turn on. Nothing. Went out for a run, and about two hours later just out of curiosity I got the rifle out and tried the EoTech. It worked fine the first time, then I turned it off and tried to turn it back on. Nothing. What next? |

Try replacing the batteries again. It could be that they were a bad set. What kind were they? How did you store them after purchase? Is where you shoot very cold? If it's super cold, batteries can have a hard time giving out the juice depending on what kind they are. If they're quality brand new lithium batteries, I'm not sure how to advise you. |
