Today my fly zapper stopped working and passing voltage to the grill. The seller from UK offers 30 days free replacement including shipping however it has been more than 30 days since i bought the zapper. I don't want to tinker with it since i am affraid seller will not replace it if i do so and i don't want as well pay for shipping since the fee will be close to new zapper's price.

Here i made a video to show zapper in better detail

I tested with multimeter battery compartment both cords and there wasn't circuit:



What would you suggest i should do?

Thanks.

Silly question but have you tried replacing the batteries?

Even though they might measure 1.5V each on the multimeter, they could've gone high impedance and not be able to provide the current when the bug zapper is connected.

I do not answer private messages asking for help because no one else can: benefit from advice I may give or correct me if I'm wrong.

Please ask on the open forum if you have a question: if I know the answer, I'll be happy to help.
