yes after it's been spun . . .

same answer as above; spin it at 1000 rpm or so, until the fliud migrates into the chamber so that it can 'lock'. It won't migrate unless it's spun.
I suspect your VFC may be 'empty' since the failure mode is simply that the fluid leaks out slowly with time. Here's a link to refilling the VFC:

Glad you had a good time . . . .
