Speedglass 100 help

admin

I went out to weld today and could not get my auto hood to turn on. I recently had the batteries changed out. I got to thinking maybe the hood had stayed on and ran the batteries down so I went and bought another set of batteries and replaced them. Still no luck.   Any suggestions?  If my hood is dead can the auto lense part be replaced without buying a new hood?  My hood is  two or three years old. Any suggestions would be apprecitated.

Reply:My brother put his batteries in upside-down (button type) on his Miller lid.  Is yours that way?Dave J.Dave J.Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance. ~George Bernard Shaw~ Syncro 350Invertec v250-sThermal Arc 161 and 300MM210DialarcTried being normal once, didn't take....I think it was a Tuesday.
Reply:Yes. I pulled out the auto lense cluster and pulled the batteries out. They are in a assembly that holds two in the upside down position. I made sure when I replaced them that they went back as I pulled the others out. I'm not sure now if the other batteries are bad. I can't figure out why its not working.  I use it often and have never dropped it or left it out in the rain. It has been trouble free since day one. I am puzzled by this.Lincoln Power Mig 300 with PythonLincoln SquareWave Tig 255 Hypertherm Powermax 45 HH120 w/argon
Reply:Did you check the voltage of the batteries?  If you can't/won't do that, you could try new batteries?Do you own a voltmeter or multimeter?
