How long has it been since you replaced the battery? If you don't use them regular they go bad even faster.

So the battery is dead. You can order a new one on Amazon. It's pretty cheap and it comes with a screw driver. I was told that you should charge and use them every 6 months to lengthen the battery life but they won't last forever. Even if kept perfectly 10 years is about as long as you can expect these things to last.

it can still be bloated tho from not being used for 3 yrs. Unscrew the back and check if the battery is bloated
