| Is it possible that this issue happened with the neo1973 as well, by
| any chance?  I have a neo1973 that also refuses to power on no matter

| freerunner to see if it can be brought to life?

Was neo1973 ever happy starting up without battery installed?  If not it
could have the same issue.

If you carefully listen to it trying to start with USB power and hear a
soft clicking a few times a second, that would suggest it can be the
same deal.
