I also had to fiddle with the head contact. Doesn't take much to get 'em going again.
Glad ya got 'em working!
That's just it, it wasn't a contact issue between the pin in the mod (tried three different ones, one that fits *everything* I have) and the atty head. I can feel when it's making contact, it gets tighter to screw down but I had the pins out so far there was 1/8" gap between the bottom of the Apsire and the top of the mod. Only when I unscrewed the head in the Aspire and screwed it back down finger-tight did they start working again. So weird, but I really don't care what caused it at this point
