What batteries are you using.

Check these lil tabs and see if they've melted into the plastic, it happened to me, use an Exacto Knife or a blade and scrape the plastic off those lil tabs.





If your using a 12V, check the connections to the batteries, they broke the first day I was using.

And if you can, screw all those lil' tabs, solder all the connections, it'll work GREAT.!

These are the tabs



If possible, solder ALL of them. They're prone to go wrong.

Yupp, 14.4V bats are what melted mine.

Just check the connections to the plate closely. Most likely its melted into the plastic housing due to the heat.

Are the batteries fully charged, do you have access to a 12V that you could possibly try.?

Can you move the starter wheel with your hand, or has it locked up.?
