Kite Sight half-blacked

[brown dog]

Had cause to get my Kite out last night. Hasn't been used since last winter.

On switching on, a little over the top half of the FOV stayed black. Battery change had no effect.

I'm at a loss - I've no idea what's happened.  Anyone had or heard of this happening before?

I've seen similar happen after an impact to the scope itself ?

Thanks Rob - it's had no bumps; I've had someone advise that one of the seals in it may have gone past its 'use by' - suspect it might need a new tube.

Try switching  on and put in draw overnight and see in morning might help worth a try

Starlight may be able to help.
