:-X Well Guess what I going have to ship my XLT to the repair shop.
But it won't cost me much to get it fixed , So I guess I miss my treasure
hunting for while, I be shipping it out next month,.
It won't turn on even with fresh ALK battiers in the ALK battery holder pack, I did everything and check it, so some where the problem might be the touch pad or the some where in the circut board.

A penny for your thoughts please reply back...

All I can say is: Whites got a little rude with me about my Classic 5ID; I fixed the 2nd problem myself (I'm a tech).

Tell us how they treat you; I won't buy from them again.

Well They told they would test my XLT to see what causing it not to turn, and that the cost would be under $120.00.
maybe you could tell me why xlt is not turning on?
How in a way they were rude to you?

I'm already missing my XLT I'm bored with out using it.
At least it's cheaper to fix it than buy a new XLT..

Might have been something as simple as the tabs not making contact with the battery terminals. I've heard of them bending over time.

I can try 1 more time and try to bend carefully back.
But if it don't work than it need repair.

No Go I carefully bend back the tabs it making contact but it not turning on when I pushed the on and off button,

I had a similar problem, It turned out to be the contacts on the battery case.I cleaned them with an eraser and they have worked ever since,"about 2 years ago".
