Hardware problems with a SoftBook...

In case anyone happens to be familiar with the original SoftBook ebook
reading device (the one with the grayscale screen), I've dug out my
old one and have been planning to auction it on eBay as a museum
piece--I've seldom used it since getting my REB 1200.  It worked fine 
when I last tried it a year ago, now it won't turn on!  I suppose it
could be something in the charging circuitry because when I plug in
the power adapter the battery charging LED light doesn't come on.  If
that's the case, it would probably run from a battery charged in a 
different SoftBook.  I've gone far as to partly disassemble it, clean
some of the contacts, and reseat the ribbon cables. but nothing has
made any difference so far.  Kind of interesting to see what's inside,
though...  Just thought I'd check to see if any members of this group 
happened to have experience repairing SoftBooks.
