It might be cheaper to buy new unit or use as is.
Good job describing what type/model.

I've always had the opposite problem, no booster but the compressor still worked.

Might want to post a pic or a model # and mfgr.
As Skang stated, usually they are a one-and-done use kind of tool.
Even the jump-pak batteries go bad over time adn are not worth the cost to replace.
HF 12v cigarette ligher compressors are under $15.

Not worth the price to resurrect IMHO.
DOA.
And I;ve dealt with alot of ****** jump packs in my time.
BTW--" That rug really tied the room together"
The battery itself, is still working great. I found this part, but have no idea if it will fit. I was really just wondering if anyone had found a suitable generic replacement part.

How old is it?
Is it under any type of warranty?
Basically as previously stated, a lot of these are all-in-one unit's that are probably a lot more to repair than to buy a new one...

If you can replace the compressor for a fraction of what you paid for the entire unit and it's easily repairable then I would say go for it.
Without having seen one of these torn down in detail, is the compressor pump you linked to earlier the same size & style?

I haven't torn it down yet. I did tear down another one a few years ago, and the compressor in it was similar to the one I linked. I suppose, one of the $15 cigarette lighter models probably has the same compressor as well. I'll tear it down and give that route a try and report back if I'm successful.
