Last year I bought a house that had sprinkler system already installed. We used the system all Summer of 2018 without issue and it was winterized by a local irrigation/ landscape company in the Fall. Fast forward to this year, I turned on the water and went to power up the controller but it would not power on.
The controller is a Rainbird ESP-Me with a 2009 build date. I am getting nothing on the LCD readout, or LED indicator. Pressing the reset button does nothing. I have tried adding a 9v battery and still no change. I have also verified power to the outlet and both sides work just fine. The unit does have a label that says it contains a non-serviceable lithium battery. Wondering if this battery failed over the Winter and took the controller out with it.
Thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
