First, remove battery holder from grip and shine a light into the holder.
Look at the battery contacts inside. They often melt.
Look at the tiny pins on the bottom of the motor. This pins sit in a
plastic insulator. Again, if the pins get hot (like from mounting the motor
setup to the camera with the switch turned "on") this can cause a surge, and
melt the insulator.

>
> I tried to clean all the contacts, and I've checked that there's voltage
> present at the battery holder terminals, but still doesn't work. I'm doing
> all the testing with an OM-2n which works flawlessly with a Winder-2.

> Before I speak to the seller, is there any trick/test/advice I could try?
