simon barr Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Silly question really, but you didn't already have full up trim in, did you... If not, then it needs checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 It sounds like the lever is simply not actually depressing the button - you need to get the case off and have a looksee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iawnski Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 yo boys while waiting for her indoors to do the make up thing i had a scan at the tx and guess what the little thing that makes the trim goes up and down is a bit faulty in the pcb,anyone no were i can get one from looks like just 2 soldered joints in back of pcb, thanks guys im a happy chappy now we have got to the heart of the prob right shopping here come war paint on lladudno here i come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Its probably a little microswitch soldered directly into the PCB - without seeing it, I couldnt say, but I likely have something here that will do the job. Maybe justthe solder joint itself needs re-doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
