The quickest thing to check when a detector won't turn on is the battery leads. They generally do not have very thick leads and can be easily broken from folks pulling on them when changing batteries. Also check the solder joints for the leads both at the board and the snap on connector. They often get cracked or broken. Get somebody that is handy with a soldering iron to put a couple of new leads on for you before you chuck the detector out. It's a quick easy fix.

Heck, give it to me! I'll take a chance and spring for the $15 shipping to get a cheap back up detector!
