GLV-2 button keeps coming loose

[goonie]

This keeps happening to my GLV-2. I already sent it in once to get it repaired and same problem is coming back.

The switch keeps getting unseated from the top cap. Now it's at the point where the switch can actually rotate to either side, and juice leaks into the unit.

How is this switch secured inside this unit? Can I repair this at home?

I would send it to Jay again ....

Just get a really thin small screwdriver. It has a treaded nut inside that holds the button in place. It has small groves on it just put the thin screwdriver in one of the grooves and turn. Just tighten the thread. No need to send it back for that. Its a piece of piss. I dont know how hard it is to get to with the 5V. As they have the resistor and the new ones have a sort of cover over the resistor as well. So it may be a bit more difficult. But with the unresistered ones its easy to fix.

Thanks. I'm looking in the cap and I can't seem to find the nut. The resistor is not easy to move and blocks it.

Maybe you should send it it then. Its hard to be without you GLV. But at least they do have good customer support. With the unresistored ones the nut is clearly visable.

If this issue has not been fixed please call me...if it has disregard.

My only guess is that the threads are somehow stripped on the nut that holds the button down. It would take some patience to get to that and check it.
