I have an Olympus ws-110. It stopped turning on suddenly. I put in new batteries. No luck. I will work in the computer but not when the base is attached. I attached a base from another recorder I have which works fine. It will not work in this particular recorder. Any suggestions?

try and find the model number on the recorder you have, then type that and the following into a google search: olympus recorder +manual filetype:pdf

For example, if you have a WS-110, you'd put the following into google:

ws-110 olympus recorder +manual filetype:pdf

That will return a list of PDF files, of which user manuals are included.

it could be the fuse inside
if you want o fix the voice recorder let me know

We had a similar problem (it wouldn't turn on), and it turned out that we hadn't taken off both layers of clear packaging from the batteries. It now works.

It seems to be working now....I am keeping my fingers crossed. Being that my technology skills leave something to be desired, I fixed it the old fashioned way. Took the batteries out, blew hard into the battery space, put the battery back in and said a little prayer. It turned right on....

You may want to call Olympus Customer Service and see if it is part that is available to be sold to consumers. Their parts department may be able to sell it to you directly. Their telephone number is 800-622-6372 option 2 and then option 3

The two parts are each shaped like L's. While holding the release button, pull the two parts away from each other.

WS-110 is not really MAC friendly.
Olympus says:

"The WS-110 can be used on a Macintosh computer that has Windows Media Player for Mac installed. Windows Media Player for Mac can be downloaded for free at Microsoft’s web site. The WS-110’s files are not compatible with iTunes. If the files are opened using iTunes, they will become corrupted and rendered unplayable."
From Support > WS-110

you can download Windows Media Player for Mac here: Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X
