Went to use my rower for the first time in a while and the PM2 wasn’t turning on. I discovered the batteries had leaked so I cleaned out the battery pack and tried new batteries with no luck. Can anyone tell me if this looks like its shot or if it can be fixed? THANKS!

I did not see a pic. If acid from the battery leaked onto the board it may be creating a short. Providing it did not damage any components, or recut the trace you may be able to clean it up.

If your in England or New Zealand its possible to get it repaired. For some reason and with over 330 million people, there is nobody in the USA that offers a repair service that I'm aware of.

You might also be able to open the PM2 up, disconnect the original battery tray, add a new battery tray on like the one below. You'd have to solder it, but it's only two connections. Use a heat sink when soldering to prevent damage to the components in the PM2.
