HI GUYS I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A FAULTY GARRETT PIN POINTER FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS OFF AND ON HAVE PULLED IT APART MANY TIMES NOW
FIRST WAS THE BUTTON ISSUE FOUND A NEW SWITCH AND INSTALLED AS PER YOUTUBE TOLD ME
THEN WAS THE SOUNDING OFF AND GOING CRAZY WHEN EVER IT WANTED
READING THREADS FOR HOURS AND HOURS FOUND A FIX THAT WORKED
NOTE THAT I GOT THIS PIN POINTER VERY CHEAP ON TRADEME FOR UNDER TEN BUCKS INC POSTAGE
SO I ONLY FOUND TWO FORUMS WITH THIS FIX BUT IT WORKED FOR ME IT MIGHT SOUND CRAZY BUT JUST HIT THE PROB END VERY HARD ON
A BIG PIECE OF WOOD
I USED MY DECK ON OUR HOUSE I ONLY DID IT ONCE AND IT HASNT PLAYED UP AT ALL FOR A WEEK NOW

SO IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO THROW YOURS IN THE BIN TRY IT
BUT IT CAN BE HARD TO MUSTER THE BALLS
AFTER ALL THESE COST NEARLY $300 OVER HERE

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS FOR YOU
IF YOU HAVE THE NUTS

AT OUT
