I have just got a Pokewalker that has not been not used for several years.
The battery was dead of course, so I changed it.
I started a game of Pokemon Heartgold to try and send a Pokemon to the Pokewalker. It all went ok until I noticed something strange : after two days, the Pokewalker won't turn on again.
With a new battery, the Pokewalker is back... for two more days, then it dies again. For about a week now I have tried five different batteries, the cycle repeats every time ( batteries are still good, checked with a multimeter). With a new battery the steps are back to zero, but the watts and items are still there.
Has anyone encountered this strange behaviour with a Pokewalker? Is there anything I can do? I can open it up (tri-wing screwdriver) but not sure what to look for.
