ETX-125PE Power Issues...???

I just picked up an ETX-125PE from the original owner of less than 1 year. He claimed he never used it. Took it on a trip, but conditions weren't favorable so he packed it back up. The scope is mint, not a scratch on it. In fact, many of the accessories were still sealed. It was too good to be true. I purchased some AA's to power it up on the way to see it. However, it did not power up. He seemed to honestly be shocked that it wouldn't turn on. The optics seemed fine, so I made him a really low offer, $300. That included a sealed Meade Electronic Eyepiece and an Orion 3x Barlow. Even if I never get it to power up, I still won't feel too bad.
I loved my first night with it. The images are beyond anything I had experienced at home before. I'm sure anyone reading this is well aware of the quality.
I tried reversing the Autostar cable, checked the battery connection and even tried to jump grounds to bypass the battery cutoff switch. I also purchased a 1.5A power supply from Radio Shack. Now the red LED light up, but still no display on the AutoStar controller.
Anyone have any suggestions?
