This makes me sad, in my mind these things are "never say die"

Open it up and look for a dry connection where the wires are soldered to the board and to the battery contacts. When you knock it and it works, it means you moved something with the knocking. Logic would suggest that it's a dry connection. Yes, my real name is Spock. Vape long and prosper

I did open it up stripped a screw also everything seemed fine i even gave it a clean with some alcohol spirit concentrate thing
Left it over night to dry out
I couldnt manage to remove the part where the button sits
Anywhere in centurion i could go that can check it out for me?

If you couldn't find any dry connections, then the only other explanation would be that the chip has gone bye bye. Sorry to hear. Unfortunately I do not know Centurion. I'm in the Free State.

Here's a link to disassemble:


I agree with Zadiac. Sounds like a loose connection. Check the battery sled and the connections going to the pcb. I am pretty sure one of the wires might require some soldering to get the device functioning again.
