Yupateru met-7100

[Kerrygold]

I have just taken my MVT 7100 out of the cupboard as I haven't used it for thee years.It switches on and lights up but that's about it.when I stopped using it three years ago it was absolutely fine with no problems.the battery light is flashing,even when I change the batteries.I was wondering if there is an internal battery like you have on laptops,hope someone can help.

Yes it sounds like there is a internal battery to retain the memory settings though the main battery,s could be dying or dead .

Thanks for the response,it isn't the main batts,I've changed them twice,and I still get the batt warning light flashing.regards

when these scanners are working correctly they cannot be beaten, they are simply better than any other handheld scanner on the market now. but after having quite a few of these myself over the years ive realised they can be quite temperamental. however, on the plus side when there is a fault its usually not a serious one, which means its nearly allways worth repairing. these are truly fantastic scanners and very user friendly which is why they are so popular.
