Worked like a charm when I first got it but stored it away for a few months. Now it doesn't work and I've tried everything. I winded it clockwise hundreds (literally) of times and shook it to get it going. However nothing.

What else should I do before I go to get it serviced? I was hoping to wear it to a nice occasion next weekend.
