Did you try to change batteries and see if it is battery problem?

[maurice]

yes...it is a hardware problem...tried three sets of batteries..($30),.. turned off,...next day they were dead.

Trade it for a Aimpoint.

[maurice]

barely used the thing....maybe 1000rds over 2-3 years...sad.

This might sound silly, but could it be that you hit the NV button instead holding both UP and Down button to turn it off?

x2.....how do you normally turn it off, Maurice?

[maurice]

both buttons to turn off. Even so...if I did push theNV button...it should not drain brand new batteries overnight. I tried the reset,...checked connections...it is a L3 model, made in 2008..takes the 1.5v batteries.

Can you try to take the battery off for 10 minutes or so then put the battery back in? Turn it on, and then turn it off using the two buttons (not NV) and wait and see tomorrow?

I will try 10 minutes..tried 5 minutes reset though already. FML. ..just got my rifle set up with magpul stock and wanted to test it today.
