Does anyone know where I can get an old LED module repaired? I was going through some old stuff and found a Gillette 315 my dad had given to me a hundred years ago. I put two batteries into the empty slots and closed it up, but nothing. I couldn’t find anything online about it and just guessed it took #357 batteries. Suggestions??

Make sure everything is lined up if there are connectors on the case back. Also the batteries are in the right way round. You could also try heating the quartz with a hairdryer, this sometimes kicks them back into life.
If all that fails go over to newdwf.com there’s guy on there who specialize in leds only.

Upon further review, the module works. I opened the watch back up to try your suggestions. I noticed the battery slots were of slightly different shape. Then I noticed one had a + sign on the bottom and the other had a - sign. I had originally placed both batteries in facing the same way. When I put them in correctly, (imagine that) the module worked. Thanks again!
