did you check the fuse, it could have corroded over time.

other than that, get a volt meter and check that power is getting through.

Yup I agree, it's a connection or charger / battery problem, I had one for a year and it was pretty bomb proof

Probably the battery is knackered. It would gone flat, and they do not like being left flat.
Try an intelligent charger (like a ctek) to see if you can breath life back into it.

You need to charge the battery with a car battery charger for 4-5 hours to get some life back into it. The supplied charger is only a trickle charger.. not got enough guts to charge a completely flat battery. 4-5 hours on car battery charger then whack on the trickle charger. Hope this helps :)

Paul take the battery out an drop it at ours. I've got a ctek charger that may breathe some life back into it. If lend you it but I use it most nights so you'll have to get it back sharpish
