Tom,

This is the way my JW devices act when they go out; I can't make them work
with any amount of UV exposure.  I don't know of any way to revive them;
someone once said to put them in a oven at a certain temp for a certain
period of time, but after this even if they did work I wouldn't use them for
development.

Your message reads like the part was brand new.  Was this the case?  If so,
just send if back, as they should come new blank.
