Ok then Ms mechanically inclined. Take out the ground/ mounting screw, pull out the guts and get a magnifying glass. Look for the ground connection on the board, it probably goes to the heat sink since that's what the ground screw goes into, and re-solder it. Simple.

About the illustrations in this thread, all I can say is wow.................. just wow.

(I was just kidding about the major surgery.)

You've heard of Nat Geo. This is Buzz Geo.

Thanks Mist, I'll get right on that LOL

No 5C I haven't tried giving it an alcohol bath, but that's about the only thing left to try for my abilities. It looks quite clean in there but looks can be deceiving

 

[5cardstud]

Well the alcohol bath cures everything. Goes back a few yrs. too. I know you've heard of bathtub gin.

 

[Bovinia]

Soaking as we speak, but my hopes aren't high. Me thinks Father Mike will have to resurrect...or say Last Rites.

 

[mistinthewoods]

There's always a PCB transplant. That and a new regulator and switch and you pretty much have a new Buzz.

One hour soak in an alcohol spa, a blow (out) job, and now drying on the top fan on my computer. I know I'd be happy with that treatment! If that didn't fix it then at least I know it died happy

 

[Vermonster13]

So you have alcohol dripping into your computer now? Ummmm, be careful.

No silly, I blew it out first!

 

[Vermonster13]

LOL, I got you to say "I blew it".

I've done the 1 hr bath and mine needed 6-8 hours to work properly. Then I used my wifes hair dryer on low to speed the drying. My Original Buzz has always performed perfectly after this ritual.

However, I've never had what you are describing. Mine would just "fire up" on it's own. The reason has always been juice getting under the top cap from seeping cartos.

Good luck my Dear....I'm glad you have strong back-ups.

The Buzz Army is always with you.....

 

[Bovinia]

Yes Rosco I remember when you had your problem. And I do have strong back-ups...Buzzes and you all! Hell, I can punch hubby upside the head and take my Infinity back too if I needed it

LOL Verm...you don't know me very well yet! I am usually the first one in the gutter around here

 

[Vermonster13]

I am usually quite angelic, really, just ask me and I'll tell you so.

This is sounding like a bad solder joint to me or something like that , we will fix it for ya Bov !

I'd almost bet money on it from what it is sounding like.

 

[Bovinia]

Thank you Mike, I knew you would fix it...I just wanted to troubleshoot what I could before sending it to you How would you like me to proceed? Just a note in the package or do I need to do an RMA from your site?

Verm thanks for making me laugh!

 

[Bovinia]

Agreed. But I know a lot of things jump up high when wiggled

 

[Rosco]

Damn straight......at least they're suppose too.
