Scribbler is flashing the red LED as if it is out of battery power even when new batteries inserted.· When we try and download a new program we get a "scribbler not found" message.· USB/Serial cable·works fine with another Scribbler.· Any ideas on how to correct?· Thanks

    Do you have a voltmeter?· If so, please measure the voltage from the bottom left to the upper right of the battery case and let me know what it reads?· Ground is on the bottom left.



    Regards,

    As an addendum to Dave's request, you might want to measure the voltage with the power switch "off", and again with it "on". This may yield some additional info.
