Graco imonitor Vibe 2 Parent

I got this monitor 2 years ago and it worked for a year and half. it worked great!! but by my second child, the batteries are shot, i can't take it more than 20 feet outside, it beeps all the time as if it were out of range, the static is awful from time to time, it loses connection each time i use my phone, and it pretty much just drives me nuts. BUT, on the upside, it is VERY VERY durable! one day it was driving me particularly insane by just beeping away regardless of where i put it downstairs. So in an admittedly immature fit of rage, i chucked it as hard as i could down the basement stairs and onto the concrete floor. now i may not be a softball pitcher, but i have a good arm on me! it flew into pieces. come to find later as i went down to do laundry, it had "broken" without actually breaking! it had just popped apart!! and lo and behold, i put it back together and it works JUST as crappily as it did before!!! but certainly no worse and not a doggone crack on it!!
