First make sure the batteries are installed correctly. Here's how it's done:

It appears others have had the same problem with this now discontinued item and gone to another one:

UPDATE
Roy, it's a matter of practicality. The thing new is $35.
It was discontinued prior to 2009 and I can't even find a photo of it.
You need one to tear down to create a repair guide. Which you could yourself using the following link:

Unfortunately I'm very familiar with these from Nikken. They worked very well when they worked! The batteries are in correctly and cords have been repaired, but they now produce a very weak stimulus. I tried the other brand you suggested from a dealer in FL and it just did not have the "juice" of a properly functioning Nikken. Th edealer understood and I sent it back for a full refund. So now I'm down to seeking someone who can open these up and test the individual parts for possible replacement. I can't believe that I've been unable to find a business that does repairs on electronic items (other than cell phones and computers!).
Guess I'll keep looking. Thanks!
Mine worked for ages also. Tried to take the batteries out of the instrument; I could not. Cannot get the battery compartment to open. A pity the Solitens appears to have been made with a shelf life.
What a pity! I will finally throw it out.

Do you still have the Solitens that you cannot get battery out? How much do you want for it? amariolaima@gmail.com

Thanks again. I do have two so I could open one up to create a repair guide. I'll look into your suggestion. I'll be away for a few weeks so it may take a while for me to work through it and see if it is a possibility.

Yes. I cannot get the batteries out. What a shame. It worked well when it worked. I agree with this user. A pity, it wa designed with a shelf life and does not appear to be usable when the batteries are no longer working.
