Hello,

I know that things have been booming lately, but I've become a bit perturbed by something. About a week ago I sent a technical support request through your website and never heard back. I read here on Thursday that you guys implemented a new system with a new guy manning the helm. So I figured my first request might have been lost in the switch over and everything else. So I sent a second request and yet again got nothing in return. I have a low number buzz pro that is not functional and would like to get it serviced. I know its out of warranty, not to mention I'm the 3rd owner, but I wanted to get an estimate of how much it would cost to have it fixed. Granted, estimates are hard to do when you don't have the device, but I never received any acknowledgement that my request was even read. Being that this buzz is in the sub 60 range as numbers go, I would like to get it functional again and either use it or hold onto it. Heck, if I could just buy the circuitry and get instructions on how to replace it that would work. I know the original problem is either the button has gone bad or the circuit board has gone bad. I would get both lights with no carto and pushing the button would not change this. When I put a carto on I would get just the red light and again pressing the button would not change the light pattern and the carto would not fire. I have taken the top cap off and cleaned everything several times (the last time I messed up the crimp on the positive lead wire, so now it doesn't register when a carto is put on, but thats an easy fix) with no effect. I've put a multimeter to the positive post and the sidewalls and it shows an open circuit, so its not shorting out. Any way I can get information on what I need to do to send it in or buy the replacement parts I need? Either post here or send me a PM. Thanks

Jim

a PCB (which fixes most problems) is somewhere in the neighborhood of $30-$40

If it is not working, and definately needs to be services, I would goto their site, fill out the RMA form, and get it on it's way back to them for service. they should give you an exact price before performing any work.

From what I have read here, repairs are first in line in their tech queue.

Thanks for the Idea, I might just send mine in.
With all the stuff vendors have to do I read this same post on just about every vendors page about emails. I know it's frustrating but I think I would just send it to them if I was you and get it fixed. I wish you good luck.

Sorry for not responding.... work has been so crazy lately that I've been coming home and barely getting to eat and relax then go to bed.

I've since given back the buzz pro to the guy I got it from, he's interested in getting it working again so he'll probably contact ya. Glad to know it was just a technical issue and will pass along the info to him.
