Alpha smart 3000 won’t turn on

Hi everyone. I just received an AlphaSmart 3000 that I bought on eBay. It came without batteries so I put some in and then played with it for a few minutes. It seemed to work fine. I’ve just come back to it after about half an hour and now it won’t turn on? I’ve tried taking the batteries out and putting them back in. It’s hot today in London, England but not so hot that electronics would struggle. Is there some fragile part somewhere that needs a jiggle?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I've discovered that the issue is the on/off key. It is fussy. I have to bash it to make it turn on and then it seems to accidentally trigger itself while I am typing (I'm a bit of an aggressive typist).

Phantom gallbladder pain post op?

Hey everyone. I have been an NHS success story so far in my journey. I had my gallbladder removed about 10 months ago, no complications. Have been eating a LOT and gained some weight back, not too worried about that though. A few weeks ago my husband went on a health buzz and we seriously reduced the amount of junk and sugar we eat, you’d think I’d feel great but the last few days I’ve felt awful. I feel bloated around my ribs. I have pain/discomfort in my upper right quadrant that radiates to my back - it’s not massively bad pain but I’m confused about how it feels like my gallbladder? Can anyone relate to this and suggest what I should do?

Also I think it’s worse if I have shredded wheat (fibre?) or don’t eat for a while, and seems to be better after I eat.
