Can't Turn Recorder On

I left this almost new recorder sitting for nearly 6 months without using it. Now I can't get it to show any signs of life. Did it die a natural death after only about 3 hours of total use? Can I make it work again? How? Thanks!

Even though the indicator shows like it has battery power, it may not.  Change the batteries, say d'oh and slap head.  I did all of the above after mine worked.  After I changed batteries, the indicator worked correctly thereafter.  1st time jitters, I spose.
