So the batteries leaked and messed up the battery compartment. I tried to clean it out. I’m not sure if I broke a connection while doing that or if the battery acid was preventing a connection.
Does anyone know of a place to get it fixed? New ones are $300. I’m hoping this costs much less than that to get fixed.

Try Oleg at AKStuff.com

He doesn't repair these directly but he knows a few electronics guys in his area. A long time ago one of them fixed my PK01-VS when the battery exploded because I forgot it was turned on and it went dry and leaked. He may still have some contacts that can help

If it's just corroded contacts, try cleaning the contacts with white vinegar on a qtip. I've saved a number of devices by doing this.

Hey guys...I could use some help as well.  Have a unit that is brand new but will not power on...assume something failed over time sitting.  Another unit that stays on regardless of the position of the switch.  

Any ideas?
