Just got 250 from Amazon. Can't see anything through objective lens. And yes, I did put in a battery.

If you cannot see anything through the objective lens of your Carson MicroFlip MP-250, ensure the following:
1. Confirm the battery is installed correctly and the LED light is turned on. 2. Make sure the base plate is in the correct position: - Upright for viewing objects directly (uses front-facing LED). - Downward for viewing specimen slides (uses downward-facing LED). 3. Position the object or slide directly under the objective lens. 4. Adjust the zooming dial and focusing ring to bring the image into focus.
If the issue persists, inspect the battery for corrosion or leakage and replace it with a new alkaline AA battery.
