X6 battery change = dead?

[cook]

I just changed the battery on my X6 and now it will not power on. I see a slight 'smudge' on the lcd in the lower right corner once the new battery is inserted but it doesn't seem to want to power on. What is the trick here? I am bummed, expensive watch and changing the battery kills it? The battery is inserted correctly, but it just does not power on anymore. I tried a second new battery and still no go.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help. I am heading out on a trip in 4 days and really want my X6 with me!

I went through this with my old defective one. It was defective, but the battery wasn't the problem.

WHat you have to do is insert the battery UNDER the little metal clips. You can't just place the battery in the compartment. There are two little clips that the battery must be under for it to work. HTH!
