The watch was laid on its face over the weekend and received no daylight. Now I can't get it to restart even in good lighting conditions, does it have a replaceable battery as well as solar power? The buttons and time resetting have always been a bit hit and miss since I bought it in 2010, although I thought it was just my technophobe ways.

I have the same problem. I am not sure, but I think that, over time, the battery gets weak and dosen't hold its charge without exposing it to sunlight for an extended period of time. I think it may be time to change the battery.

Sounds like the solar back up cell needs to be replaced. You can get it repaired for rather cheap less that $30(US). You can contact www.casiosalesandservice.com to have it serviced. 877.659.0761

From your description the solar cell charges the battery and keeps it topped up. I think the rechargeable battery is the problem because when the screen goes blank the battery level drops to low and the LCD blanks out which would explain the intermittent operation of the watch. I think it is worth getting it checked out with an estimate.
