Hi there,
Steripen Journeys baterries were low so I changed them & now it won't turn on at all (with new baterries- have tried 2 sets)... anyone had this happen, any suggestions. Don't want to go back to tablets- yuk! I guess SW Tassie water should be ok anyway
Thanks
Lizzy

I have the steripen classic that i got off ebay
It is new and have found it to be playing up so i emailed Hydro-photon and they said send it back to them for repair. So we'll see what happens. But not very happy as you dont need to be out bush and things like this to happen.

The only problem I have had with mine, was it turns itself off when the ambient temperature is just below zero. Annoying!

Well the ever so handy wonderful husband just got home & put some aluminium foil between one of the connections- seems it was a bit shorter :roll: Now it works!! :idea:
Fingers crossed it continues on...

I just so happen to know your husband and he is very handy. Especially with power gardening tools :D

It's annoying that my steripen uses obscure batteries. I wish it just used AAA! My headtorch and spot messenger both use AAAs and it would be much more convenient to only buy 1 size!
