Boiling a kettle underneath it apparently softens up the rubber and gets it working again.

Seems to be a common complaint about the red box should encoparate the magnet on off in the box the same as the collers would do away with any physical switch problem solved

Boil kettle,pop water into bowl with some fairy liquid!sit the bottom in it till all the dirt is softened!give it all a good clean!i used a rubber silicon spray on it that i use to stop door car rubbers from going dry and squeaky!

I think there’s a 5 year warranty on the box

I just rang them up she said it sounds like the battery and they only give one year cover on the battery

They replaced my mates one and it sounds the same problem

It seems to be whatever mood you catch them in, I've had them really helpful in the past, but recently I've rang a couple of times and they were no help at all.
