Dw-5600 light not working

[is that my watch]

wasn't there a faulty batch of these with noneworking back lights ?

the old battery was their any leaking going on ? I had one leak and it ate the bulb because when I clean it up it was just not there ..but everything else worked but it had a strange thing of going faint on the hour ever hour .. that was an old t290 ...

but if bought nonworking good chance the bulb was shot before you change the battery mate

No there wasn't any battery leakage... It was opened for the first time...

No idea how old this is.... The module was not removed from the case.... Could be that the age of the watch is the reason of the bulb not working...

Its not a bulb but an EL panel.
The battery is not delivering enough voltage to make it glow so the watch contains an inverter to create something like 60V for the panel.
That draws a lot of current.

My question:
is it possible that you shorting the batteries while sliding them in?
A shorted CR2016 is EOL in a matter of seconds.
I made this mistake myself by sliding the batt into the holder when the minus is on the metal back plate of the module while the fastening tab (which connected to the metal backplate) is touching the plus side of the battery.
I now bend up the fastening tab wide enough to put in the cell without sliding it over the backside of the module.

some good points to try there ( I called it a bulb but was referring to the t290 which had one - ) so maybe should have made it a bit clearer for them )
