Hello,  
May I know the model number of the BBQ thermometer?  
If you use a computer to charge the BBQ thermometer, can it work?

Just to confirm, if it charges through the computer, it works too. But after charging for a while, disconnecting the charging cable and pressing the button it won’t turn on?  
If yes, it may be a battery issue.

Maybe, battery goes so fast dead ? I just used maybe 10x in 2 years.

I replaced the battery, no result. So something else is broken. They offered me a new one for half the price.
