Try gently removing the top cap and take a look to ensure that all the wiring is all connected and there are no breaks in the wire or connection to the cap. Also inspect it to see if any liquid leaked inside altho I'd highly doubt that the case, but take a look anyway...

Did you get it working? Try a different atty...

Did you get it working? Try a different atty...

Along the same line, have you eliminated all the simple stuff, swapped out batteries, cleaned threads? What voltage reading are you getting with a multimeter?

So is all good? Inquiring minds want to know.

i swapped the atties and the batteries and everything the atty will fire but not very well i had to take the wire inside and take off the strip off the covering and wrap the wire around the screw in bottom of connector i tried to up the voltage but it wont go over 3.3 volts no matter how much i twist the voltage screw i am using two cr123 batteries so i dont know whats wrong with it but it has ruined my last two days i just want it fixed i would even pay to send it back to get it fixed

SO was the wire broken ? are you using 3.7 volt batteries ?? if not this can cause it to not work right BUT it should go above 3.3 volts ! that is the problem , make sure the batts are fully charged and they are 3.7 volts

I got two ultrafire 3.7 volt icr 123a batteries just took them off the charger right off the charger they work fine in my ggts and omega but when i out them in the buzz they wont fire the red led comes on but very faint i also have two tenergy 3.0volt cr 123a batteries and when i put them in the buzz it wont go above 3.3 volts so im not sure what is wrong or if im doing something wrong the wire was broken but i fixed it

The Buzz is made to operate on 3.7 volt batteries and it works alittle on 3volt but not very long.
I have one set of 3.7 volt batteries that only work if the right on is on top. Try stretching the spring out just a touch.
I think I would send it in to have Mike fix it if it's not working right.

the buzz has been fixed the wire had broken under the heat wrap so i used some electrical tape to reconnect it and it is now working at the proper voltage thank you for all your helpful tips not i know what not to do and what to check if something else goes wrong

 

[5cardstud]

Great, I broke my wire one time too and I added a longer one to it. I'm so happy it is working good again. We cant have any unhappy people in the Buzz family.

Does that counter you have in your signature change everyday by itself?

 

[Bovinia]

Good deal Ham! Enjoy

 

[hamdamann]

Yes the counter on my signature does update everyday it is great
