Sounds like you've pretty well covered your bases as far as likely issues. Replacement card (which Sentinel reads without a problem); batteries that apparently are known good. Were you 'reading' the cards via an external card reader, or via the mass storage mode on the scanner? If that was in mass storage mode, does the scanner attempt to boot up using charged batteries, but without the USB cable connected?ok I have updated the sd card and tried a different card. both were recognized in the sentinel software so I believe they are working still getting the blinking green charge light and wont power up. I have used just the rechargeable batteries that came out of a pro 651 scanner that worked fine. when I use the usb cord that came with the scanner same thing tried the usb charger for the bcd436 and the same thing
It sounds like you have tried everything that remotely might apply. As I said earlier, it appears that something is wrong with that radio.I have tried to power up with batteries only,with power coed only with out the sd card. Still wont turn on and yes i have held the power button down for as long as 10 seconds
