SVD fire button? going bad

[old_geezer]

It works most of the time, but 20% of the time nothing. And once in a while I hit it and see red/green/white? 3 flash and nothing. The button still feels right but having it die every 20 hits, then take 3-4 presses to have it start firing again is aggravating. It's not turning off, just doing nothing or occasional flashes and nothing when I press it. It's about 4 months old. I have about 30 good 18650 batteries (reformed flashaholic here) so it's not batteries. Can I fix it? How's warranty on these guys? I bought it 4/26/2014 from Ebay. Still has unscratched sticker on the box.

You may have juice down in the SVD ? Mite need cleaning ?
Or a bad switch ?
you can email them and ask if there's any thing they can do for you ?
I get them for $28.00 so I now have three of them
Best wishes

So what do I clean that will make the fire button light up consistently? It doesn't say Short, or Non, just does nothing. And the occasional red/green flicker. What does that mean? Where do you get them for $28? I can find like $38-$40 on the net. You must have a good friend, or knee-pads, or something I've seen disassembly videos, but it's like Pull out the top, then the boards, then... With my MVP 2.0 and 1500mAh Aro Winders and 4? 1300mAH twists it's basically an Ohms checker for me. That and it gives me something to use with my 30? 18650's. I think I'll just buy another MVP 2.0 and give it to this girl at the local vape shop. She's poor and likes my trash. Bags of weird Ebay stuff, iClear 30s that come with MVP's I don't use, CrapFire batteries I get free. So on..

I know it's not the same, but my Vamo did the same thing for a while. I would push the button and nothing would happen about 1 out of every 3 tries. Once in a while, it would shut down when this happened. This went on for a few weeks, then one day I realized it had stopped happening and it's been fine for a few months now. If all else fails, maybe it'll fix itself like mine did!

I had nothing but problems with the switch from the beginning. Sent it back to the online vender who replaced the switch but still does work right. I gave up on it and put it in the closet. There was a thread I believe that gave instructions on something to fix it but it looked like to much trouble. Probably to late to get a refund, this is not uncommon with the device, it's a piece of junk.
