I think my Vamo is dead

[kabonk]

it's been flaky for a while but I usually can get it working. I changed the spring a couple weeks ago and I thought I had it sorted out. but today it's just blinking on then blinking right off. I gave it a bath in isopropyl alcohol and I'll let it dry over night maybe it will it help. If not I guess I will call it disposable I got it in a co-op back in January or maybe Dec I don't remember and it was pretty cheap.

It could be a couple of things, including just a bad ground, or a direct short somewhere. Hard to tell unless you take it apart to investigate. If it's the electronics board itself, you could get one of these... PCB. Or... just buy a replacement from fasttech.

For the price of the pcb i would go and get a new one from fasttech,

I'm sorry...same here. It was a great little PV when it worked! But that )#$@#()*$& connection pretty much messes up every time. I'm sure that cheap little silicone ring let juice get down inside the PV.

I've ordered a Z-max. Maybe someday I'll go back and pull the Vamo apart and fix all the problems. But not today lol.

Of all the Vamos sold I'm not surprised to hear some are dead. I keep wondering when mine will die but I try to keep the thing clean. I regulary clean the juice leaks with a tooth pick wadded with a little cotton ball fluff. I do that regularly so hopefully that and cleaning battery contacts will work. Mine was from a co op too so if I get 6 months...oops I've already gotten over that but I use it very part time lately. I think it's moved into back up catagory and take it out on a boat type thing.

For the people having the blinking out problems, are they stainless steel or chrome?
