Buzz coming on by itself

[Redneck500]

Hi folks.. I don't think this is suppose to happen..It just started tonight, but the Buzz is actually turning on by itself without me hitting the button. The Blue light comes on, but its not the regular blue/red color, its just the blue light comes on, and i can hear the atty sizzllin. What could this be?? Is there a short in my buzz?
Thanks.

Red, Buzz has a new iPhone app that will turn your Buzz on. Someone probably got your serial # and it's turning yours on.

JK......Sorry, one of those nights. I'm sure someone has the answer...

You might have some liquid inside shorting it out. I can't think of no other reason unless you have a short. Try blowing it out through little adjuster hole or letting it dry if it is wet inside.
Also I would PM Mike.

Yeah RedNeck get up with Mike...It could be wet inside as 5C said...I've heard of this problem once before and that one had too go back..Be safe and remove the bottom cap when not in use...

But arent they protected and sealed from allowing liquid inside of them?

I can see how liquid could get in to the button if you hold it on the bottom and the liquid come down the side. I'd take the batteries out, disconnect the top and blow it out good with compressed air from all angles including directly on the button. When putting it back together make sure the wire in the cap isn't frayed and hitting something too.

OK, it was going crazy a few hours ago, its not doing it now, but i'm gonna keep an eye on it. I don't want to send it back unless I REALLY need too.. Thanks for the tips.

I had the problem you describe once. I had cleaned the inside with alcohol with the atty connector cap off and it hadnt dried all the way and I also found i needed to screw the connector on the top cap in a little. It was loose. Be sure to dry it out totally. Also the atty connector is not totally sealed so be careful of juice getting inside. Yes juice can get inside the compartment if the atty has over flowed.

I think we're good, It hasn't come on since early this morning may have been a little wet Don't know what Id do without my buzz. its like smoking a cigar hehe

All of a sudden the juices appear to be conductive ( at least some of them ) !!! I have not had this happen until the last 3 weeks or so , we made a resistor change on the PCB to deal with this issue.

It never used to happen now all of a sudden it is ???????????? weird man .

Your buzz has not been near a magnet when it turns on by self has it? Somehow a magnet might trip the switch to the on position.

Oh Purple, I never thought of that! I have a little case I toss my Buzz or Infinity in to carry in my purse and it has a magnetic latch. Is that a bad idea?

 

[BuzzKill]

It is not a magnet problem I am sure and Bov do not worry about it , it would take a VERY strong magnet !!!!

 

[5cardstud]

Thats what I was thinking. Most of the metals used in them are not magnetic.

 

[BuzzKill]

It would probably take one of those magnets that you can levitate a frog with LOL !

**NEWS FLASH** **MAGNET THEORY DEBUNKED***

I just ran the Buzz up close and personal too the magnet on the back of a Marshall speaker...Tried the Infinity too....Actually the speaker is an Eminence Texas Heat loaded in a Marshall cabinet.... No LED action was noted and neither the Buzz nor Infinity were harmed during experimentation... Won't fire a Buzz but will FIRE IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Trying too find a frog for experimentation #2.....Houston we have a problem.........................

 

[BuzzKill]

Nice work ! hey have you ever tried Weber speakers ??

Mike,
I contacted you today about the same thing happening. I took the top cap off and let it dry out really well. So far, in the last few minutes, it has been okay and not firing on it's own. I'm going to use it for awhile and see what happens before I send it back in if that need be the case.
