Thanks so much Ron, James and Will for these suggestions. Thanks to you
James for being willing to ask your electronics instructor about it.

I've had the battery, which was old and bad, replaced... didn't help. I
don't have a manual (i am third owner of this bad boy). o, technology... i
have no magic little hole for paperclip insertion and i'm a typical woman
not knowing what the heck to do with a fuse.  i don't think i want to do
any ziplock freezy reset :-) but that's entertaining.
