[QUOTE="Guessologist, post: 566456, member: 11952"] Disaster strikes, my cheap eBay pinpointer finally stopped working after some erratic behaviour. It still did it's normal vibrate on power on but stopped responding to metal. Taking it apart, it looks like an easy fix: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/11952/1596002512_img_20200729_155907.jpg[/img] The wires going to the detecting coil were sandwiched between it and the sharp edge of the PCB, and have finally been severed. Should be a 2 minute soldering job to sort out when I get a moment. I'll rip off the piezo beeper while I'm in there, vibrate only mode would be perfect. [/QUOTE]
