If the Packard Bell PBO-1 Pulse Oximeter has a red light but the screen does not light up, even with new batteries, possible issues could include:
- The display may be damaged or malfunctioning. - The device may have suffered impact or shock, which can affect internal components. - The batteries might not be inserted correctly or the battery contacts may be dirty or corroded. - The power button may not be functioning properly.
Ensure batteries are installed correctly, clean the contacts if needed, and check for any signs of physical damage.
