Default lipo igniter not working

I have a dynamite lipo igniter that just stopped working. anyone know anything about these that I might be able to fix? since it's not a simple battery inside. it appears to be the charger too.

not sure it's worth messing with. the internals looks like the charging circuit.
not sure if it's the battery or the electronics in it that's messed up.
I seen a few threads on the net about these things just up and stop working for no reason. dynamite was replacing them but they too failed in short time.

I'll stick with the old tried and true nicad great planes metered one.
