Buzz Button

[Nagios]

So, I've had my buzz since June of last year (order #67) and it's seen it's fair share of use But recently the button on it seems to be giving up, it still fires once in a while, but it takes a lot more pressure and weird angles to make it work. Mike, is there any way to replace those switches, or is that something that is advised against? I'm an electrical engineer so I'm not scared to break out the solder but there are so many of those tactile switches out there, I'd hate to replace it with the wrong one.

Thanks in advance!

I know the one he uses is a 1,000,000 cycle switch. He should be along soon. You might try PMing him too.

The way they are installed is a biatch to change , it is best if we do it ( we have to change the PCB many times ! ) I have changed this design on the Infinity so it will be easy to change in the future , email me about it !

Thank you very much Mike! Sorry this is late, I've been battling with a cold lol. I might have to wait for the Infinity to arrive before I can get the Buzz fixed since it's my only real PV. So I'll be in contact shortly!

Thanks so much for everything Mike, it's very much appreciated!

No problem Nagios . try cleaning around it with an exacto knife or ??? the juice can junk up the action .

Mike would it be a big no no to spray the switch with contact cleaner?

 

[BuzzKill]

it would have to be a non corrosive spray, and some of them will eat plastic so that has to be watched also , I would remove the batteries first ! .

We have had some come back with juice in the switch and under the PCB ?? not sure how that happens , but some of these juices are conductive and causing the unit to come on ( it is shorting out the switch ! )

SO keep your unit clean ( at least keep the juice out of the electronics )

Ok so not really a great idea to use the spray contact cleaner, just to be on the safe side!
