Sounds like your SI(Service Indicator) batteries died on you.

You need to get new batteries and solder them in. Its pretty easy.

Pirate - you need to downsize your avatar (pic of your car, nice though it is) - it's way too big.

Also, for future reference, there is a Tech Help section on here for issues like this.
