lastnihg twas not my night to tape at all.

this morn i try to see if my JB3 saved my ass. I try to turn it on... dead. if anyone can please help id much appreciate.

I have reset
taken batteries out put them back in

It did take about a 6 inch fall lastnight but this thing has been through much worse.

any ideas?

Sounds like you have component trouble on the main pcb board. It doesn't take much of a shock/drop to break a few solder joints, especially after the unit has been running for a while and the circuit boards have warmed up. If you’re technically inclined, I would suggest stripping the unit down and have a look over the circuit board with an eye loupe. PM me if you'd like some help.
