I'm sorry I didn't clue in on this earlier, but I think you're
right about the battery. I know we've had a IIcx in one of the
labs which you were not permitted to turn off as it wouldn't restart.
I think it was a bad battery.

Try fixing it. Our standard repair is to get a 2 or 4 battery clip from
Radio Shack and wire in two AA batteries. They're cheeper and easier
than the Lithium battery.

Good luck!
