same issue here. I opened the device up, however, and a certain part of the board seems to be incredibly hot, even when the device is off. Still trying to figure out what part is hot, however, because it's located on the bottom part of the board that doesn't seem to be accessible.

My two 110's have same problem.
With two new sets of different brand NiMh rechargeables the problem still exists.
Both units get warm and flatten the batteries within 3 hours with them turned off.

Have exactly the same problem & tried the same fix re changing battery types. Unit gents very hot and new batteries are exhausted within one hour when unit is off.
