Calling all optics experts, I have an EOtech 552 that's been mounted on my M4 for about 3 years, I haven't shot it in about a year ( I know, I know ), after my move I decided to clean my M4 and check it all out, while doing so, I found my EOtech will not power on.
Troubleshooting steps:
1.) Replaced Batteries with Lithium Ion Energizer's
2.) Cleaned contacts
3.) Triple checked battery position, confirmed the rubber battery followers are in place
4.) Checked 'NV' button, confirmed the optic is not in 'NV' mode
Does anyone have any ideas short of sending it back to EOtech for repair? I do see a red tinge when the optic is on, towards the top of the glass, I'm fairly certain my optic is dead from sitting in a gun safe for over a year, that's what I call "rugged".
