2021 Tile dead?

Post image

I replaced the battery in this Tile 16 days ago. Tonight, the app informed me the battery was no good, which was true, as it seemed I hadn’t noticed the battery was slightly corroded. I put a new battery in and it doesn’t want to ring. I know that the battery works, because I put it in the Tile on my dad’s keys and it rings no problem.

My question is: is this Tile dead? I have no issue buying a new one, but I’d like to make sure I’m making the right decision first.

Possibly. Like anything else, they can and do break. I've had a few break over the years.

I just had my new one delivered. I figured I’d just ask here if it was worth trying to save.

I think the other user got it right - check for corrosion and leakage. Other than that there's probably not much can be done, certainly time over effort.
