Buzz Army- Help me Please :-)

Where the heck is that thread about cleaning under the top cap with alcohol? I sold one of my Buzz to an Army Guy (real army lol) and it is firing on its own (won't turn off) I know that you just slosh some alcohol in under the topcap to get the old gunky juice out but where the heck is that thread? Thanks!

Well...I did add to such a thread.
I removed the batteries and submerged the Buzz, top cap first, into a shot glass and then poured ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL (90%) until the button was covered. I then left it over night sitting upright in the alcohol.
The following morning after removing my Buzz from the shot glass of alcohol, I shook and dried it as best I could. I then used my wifes hair dryer on low and blew into the tube from end cap and also I unscrewed the top cap and blew the dryer from that end as well. I alternated several times from one end to the other for several minutes.

I then put fresh batteries in, screwed the top cap back on, threaded a carto, and my Buzz was back to new again.
I had tried shortcuts such as just pouring some alcohol into the tube and shaking it a couple times, but that was not good enough. It would still fire on its own.
Only after the overnight procedure did it get back to 100% again. My Buzz is now the Bomb it always was.



Good luck and let us know if this does the trick.

I'm sorry I didn't answer your PM sooner Salem. Rosco actually has it better than the answer I gave you...the shot glass or any other glass would give it a better soak than just sloshing the alcohol inside it!

Hi Army ! , this happens when juice gets inside the unit and on to the PCB assem. the alcohol cleans it up , swishing it around will help as well to scrub the PCB a bit.

Let us know how it works out !

And WELCOME !

you can also use a can of "computer air" and spray the button, that'll get the gunk out of the button. my dad got an inifinity, it did exactly the same thing (get stuck ON), so I sprayed it with air and all better in an instant.
