I went to play with my laser point and nolticed it wont work. Tried another battery and still nothing.

Does water cause them to quit working? We had a good rain storm this morning and yesterday and it got wet.

Water and electronics are usually not a good mix. Most laser pointers are not sealed and should be kept dry.

You could try to open it up and let it air out. After it drys it _might_ start working again (depends on how clean the water was). Remove the end cap and take the batteries out. Remove the front protective cap as well (if it has one). Leave it in a dry environment and let it air out for a few days.

...and cross your fingers. ;)

Good luck!
