Need help with infinity.

[Mobius_13]

Hey guys. The little rubber o ring has come out from the 510 connection on my infinity. Ive been trying to get it back in but cant. Is it supposed to be under the post or just around it? Hoping its something I can fix myself. Thanks.

Well I kinda got it stuffed under the post and have it working again. Prob not the way it should be though. Wonder how many attys I tossed thinking they were dead. Just found one that I missed throwing away and it works now. Guess they were all just shorting out before. Is this sort of thing covered under warranty? My attys never did make contact unless I pulled the posts out. No matter what brand.

That could be from over-tightening. Get ahold of Mike it has a 6 mo. warranty I think.

I wonder if this is why we're seeing so many with what seems to be moisture on the PCB? Wonder if it's the o-rings on them leaking juice? Just a thought.

 

[5cardstud]

Could be just a bad part but Mike will fix it. I've never got juice that far down on one of my PVs. I've had it go to the top part of my adapter but not into the mod. I have overtightened them and it causes the O ring or isolator to get squished out though. I hate putting them back in. I put one in last night but for a different reason.

Sure glad my Buzz is so darn simple for this farm boy to use. The only O-rings we have are our wedding rings.
No....that's not true. Can't lie to my friends. Besides, one look on my hand and you'd know it was really a asparagus rubber band. Blue....was all they had in my size.

We would have to replace the connector for it to be right , The PRO series will NOT have this type of connector anymore it will be like the Buzz .

 

[5cardstud]

I can't wait for the Pro series to be out. It's going to make the Infinity a whole new ballgame.

Oh yeah, I like playing ball. Or as Erine would say "It's a beautiful day for a ballgame... Let's play two!" Umm maybe 3?

 

[Mobius_13]

If sent back for a fix would it be replaced with the newer pro series part?

I don't think so because it hasn't been built yet. Besides they wouldn't fit anyway.
But you sure have a cool avatar.

 

[BuzzKill]

This usually happens from over tightening the atty , it causes the silicon piece to squeeze out of it place ,. it will be the same type of part .

 

[5cardstud]

I'm not real good at this but here goes. The Carto/atty gets screwed down too far as in the figure on the right causing the oring in blue to be squished out of it's place allowing the center post in red to contact the housing of the connector. Then you have a direct short between the negative and positive causing the short.

On the left is how it should be.

 

[BuzzKill]

That is a NICE drawing 5CS , thanks . Makes it very clear !!!

 

[Rosco]

The one on the right has a short.

Did I pass the test?

 

[Bovinia]

LOL Rosco, I noticed that too. I just figured 5C meant his OTHER right

 

[Rosco]

Oh right, that right. Right?

 

[5cardstud]

Thanks people, it was late last night. Not time wise but tired wise.
Was I negatively positive or was I positively negative?

Mike got it right off. Right?

 

[Bovinia]

I'd say negatively positive...and it is a great illustration and explanation! You just got your right and left backwards

 

[5cardstud]

Whos to say it was backwards? I don't see anything backwards in it. Maybe you two got it backwards? Maybe were not even here but in a parallel universe and just imagine we are here. Shall I go on?

 

[Bovinia]

Are you going Charlie Sheen on us 5C?! LOL
