Alivecor

[Ben166]

My Alivecor has suddenly stopped working. The green signal bar on the right flashes at one bar but no connection is made. Has anyone had something similar? I wondered if it was the battery.

I haven't had that before but might be worth changing the battery. There could well be enough power to light the signal bar but not enough to power the machine.

Forgive me if these are absurd questions---

Is the case on the phone? if not and it is beside the phone make sure it is close to the microphone.

How long have you had it without changing the battery?

Use anything liquid (drops) of water, hand sanitizer, a few have even said they just lick their fingers, though..

any way it does need conduction if you have dry hands.

Ask Alivecor - they are great at responding.

Best...

Seems like the connection is suspect. As for the electrodes try to rub them with a new money note. A good way of cleaning them without serious abrasives

I have an AliveCor and when I cannot get the green bars up I always change the battery .....presto it it works perfectly! I also use it on the Ipad too.....as well as my iphone 4s.
