Hello, I had falsing problems with my PP so I un soldered the wires from the bored and put shrink wrap on them tested it and it worked, I went to pull it apart and make sure everything was tucked nicely and in my excitement forgot to push the button in. Yes, I fixed it then broke it again a minute later. the button replacement is beyond my ability, is there anyone around who can help me? I can pay, trade whatever, LMK. Thank you.

I would personally call Garretts and get a quote to have it fixed. I'm retired from an industry where I worked on tiny solder jobs but I had professional work benches and people I could use for support.

I too broke the switch in one of my Propointers long ago. It was a nightmare getting it back "as right as possible." It ain't worth it. If Garretts will do it for $25 $35...let them do it. martin

I didn't think they would be willing since I modified it but I'll try. Thanks. If a guy wanted to make some $ learning to repair machines out of warranty would be busy.

Better take your loses and send it in for repair, or buy a new orange Pro Pointer.
