S..t ,S..t, S..t and £"$&*"!¬ it..........................

my spinner rolled off the work top and clonked onto the stone tiled floor . The firing button comes on but when I connect a clearo onto it it's not connecting . I have tried several clearo's and all the same. I tried to charge it and not connecting to the charger . I have tried raising the pin to the point that I'm scared of breaking it off. Why I don't know, cos it's not working anyway . I have cleaned it with IPA to the point that I'm afraid of it getting into the battery itself. Any ideas on what else to try before I cry me a river

Oh Sue you had only just got it working again, i think you are not meant to have that spinner are you, sorry i cannot offer any help.

I feel your pain

[maccafan]

Probably a soldering connection has broken inside..Most likely the ground wire from the top of the battery to the circuit board.

[sue1952]

Oh Di I think you're right. I have no ide what to do with it so I'm putting it to one side and going to ignore it for a couple of days. Tease-smiley. I am then going to get up on Saturday and hope that the fairies have been and fixed it and pretend it's all been a nightmare

[sue1952]

How would I get to the inside of it macca to have a look?

[maccafan]

First thing I would check is the center pin. Prise it out and if it falls out then the red wire from the circuit board to the center pin is disconnected. If the red wire is disconnected it may be possible to solder it back without having to take the thing apart provided you can retrieve the red wire through the small hole.

If the red wire is still attached you can push it back in with some tweezers or some such. Then use a solid clearo/carto like a EVOD and wiggle the connector from the tube. Go slow and don't wrench. It's all very delicate and putting the button back in takes some knack or you'll end up shearing off components from the circuit board. So go slow.

I would also suggest pressing the button 5 times - I know it sounds obvious but it caught me out once before.

[sue1952]

Ok thank you very much. I am off to give it a gentle try I have tried an Evod but got nothing. Have also tried the 5 clicks didge If all else fails, a new one is in order icon_shoppingm

[sue1952]

Red wire still attached macca and still nothing Have tried an Evod and clearo. The button is lighting up but it seems no power getting through . Any other suggestions please? Apart from the rude ones and the obvious of bin it

[maccafan]

If the button is still lighting up and there is no obvious wire disconnects, then it's most likely that a component on the circuit board is fried and it's beyond economic repair.

Very little chance of recovering that one I am afraid. I have seen a few spinners go that way. You can post it to me if you like and I can take a look and return it if I can repair it or keep it for spares if I can't.

[sue1952]

thank you macca that is very good of you. I've only had the spinner for 6 weeks so thought it would last a bit longer than that. I'm going to give it another clean and pray a lot and see what happens. Thank you for all your help
