It seen to me that the battery have gone bad, it may have swell up a little.
I have heard this happen to another person just a few day ago and he said he
haven't use his receiver for a long while and left it on charge with the
switch on and when he attempt to use his GPS receiver it did not work and he
removed the pouch so he can removed the battery compartment but the
compartment came off by it self and he touch the battery and the battery was
swollen enough to force the compartment to come off.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] the i blue receiver

Hi, all,
    The other day when I was out using the gps, the i-blue stopped
receiving. I asked someone, and he said there were no lights on. I naturally
assumed that it had not been sufficiently charged up. But now, it shuts
itself off all the time, almost as though there is a loose connection or
something. I thought I'd remove the battery for 30 seconds or so, a trick
that seems to work with many of these battery devices, and I noticed that
the battery compartment cover was sort of bulging, not closing tightly, and
now, no matter what I do, I can't get the battery compartment cover to close
snugly when the battery is inserted. 
It closes properly when the battery is not inserted. If I had not noticed
this *before* had removed the battery, I'd woonder if I was perhaps
inserting it incorrectly, but it was like that even before I removed the
battery, and anyway, the battery only seems to fit in one way.
Any thoughts? Has the battery "gone bad" or something?
Thanks.
Alice
