Wow! A lot of strolling down memory lane. Don't forget American Bandstand on Saturday mornings and Soul Train. Does anyone remember The Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack?

Absolutely!

Okay, so Provari post. I've been getting kinda wacky readings and getting the low battery flash when my batts are fairly fresh off the charger, trying to figure out what's going on, because the batts were actually charged up and fine. I'm sitting here freaking a little, because hey, Provari, not supposed to have issues! WTH??? Anyway, I take the battery out and notice a little schmutz on the button top. I shine a light down in, and sure enough, the contact inside is all schmutzed up as well. I took a screwdriver and carefully scraped it off, but I don't want to really go at it with something like that and potentially muck up the electronics, what do you guys use to clean that off?

A q-tip soaked with 91-99% alcohol. Just rest it on the contact for a few seconds and gently rub the schmutz off.

Hmmm....the only alcohol on hand is the drinkin' kind. Would hydrogen peroxide screw it up in there?

I have these Soldering Manipulator Tools, and the brush on the right, do you think that is ok to use lightly on inside?

Despite the gunk, is it currently working?

Yup, doing fine now. I can still see traces of the schmutz on the contact, but not having the issue anymore.

Then leave it alone until you get some rubbing alcohol. You can drink whatever else you have.

How did you manage to get schmutz on the contact anyway?!

That sounds like a challenge!

I haven't the foggiest idea.

Is there anybody on the forum that he's NOT told about that damn blog of his?!



I kid.. it's actually pretty good, but you better follow it word for word. You've seen how he gets when he's grumpy right?

I've been hearing more and more about new ProVaris having dirty contacts. I don't remember mine being dirty and now I clean mine maybe every month. Guess I better read the lion's blog.......(better be entertaining)
