Hey guys I got my sensativity knob from whites today. I tried to install it and now My M6 detector dont work right. I have everything plugged in right that I know of and if you turn the knobs up it makes a noise but its like the coil dont work. When I turn the sensitivity up at one certain spot as I turn it makes a loud on and in and out noise constantly wont shut up. If I move it a tad bit over from that spot it dont do anything... any ideas

did you push it on too hard, they should slide on relatively easy?

No I mean they are in there like they should be. I didnt really force them. Its weird. when I turn my sensativity up at a certain notch is when it starts making that in and out noise If I move it antywhere else on the area it wont make a sound or pick up anything...

I think what sniffer is getting at is.. Did you have this problem before installing the new knob? If you remove the new knob does the machine start working properly? If I am off base here Sniffer sorry  Seems I remember this,are you the guy that the friend drop something on your machine down a dropoff? Did you replace the whole sensitivity switch not just the knob? |

try turning it on and without turning it off remove the batteries, wait about 30 seconds, reinstall them and turn it on and see if that makes a difference

you could always try buying a minelab. Sorrry, couldn't stop myself.

I noticed that no-one really utilizes all the signature space provided, so I figured to be REALLY original I would make up the longest signature that I could and probably just leave it as one big run on sentence because all that punctuation just takes up way too much space-HH.

If static discharge got it send it in...nothing more you can do.. I think you have done enough  Electronics repair is not for everyone..  Good luck Soup |

static electricity can release up to 100,000 volts, no amps to speak of, but enough to wipe out small electronics
