There are lots of threads on repairing a leaky humidor. (Scott) Shilala has posted several. If your humi did work fine for a while then fixing it up should not be too difficult. Most humidors with glass leak around the glass and you can seal that up any number of ways (silicone sealer, etc.) -- of course, you need to put your cigars in another container for a week or so while you are repairing the leaks.

You should also cover up the glass with something opaque and due the flashlight test to see if there are any other problem areas. Also, check out the wood around the hinges to make sure that there are no cracks.

Or, you could just raise the RH of your beads until they are able to keep your humidor where you want; you may need to recharge the beads more frequently, but that may be easier than repairing the humidor.

The local cigar bar gave me a humidor so that I could keep some cigars there; it is a pretty cheap humi and stored in less than ideal conditions (under the TVs). I had to set my beads up to 70% RH in order to keep the humi at 65%...
