All I can suggest is you have a good look inside the battery compartment and make sure it is clean. Then check your battery is ok. I don't have the 5000i so I am unable to help with replacing the internal battery. The 7000 has its battery hidden behind a plate in the main battery compartment but then the 5000i is very different, sorry can't help you. Regards - Alf
