Check the continuity of the led assembly. If you have another similar unit,
take the led assembly and swap them out. If you have alligator clip leads you
can also use the battery and see if the leds will light up when you touch the
leads to the contacts. I've also used foil to help the cheap contacts make a
good connection when reassembling. For the price of that one and what Amazon
charges for returns, it may be more cost effective to just trash it.

Brian
