Ion on off problem

[Dusty]

I know there is a sticky at the top, but the on off button on my ion has just fallen apart, can it be reassembled, or do i need a new board?

If so can anyone help? With either the board or button!?

not sure if this is revelant or not but you can get membrane pads for ions, virtue does one. maybe that would solve your problem.

you have to get a new button, that isnt the easiest job to resolder one on, took me a while and a lot of patience to do, any SP tech or SP themselves should be able to do it, other than that, a new board or a replace one is required

Soldering a new button on there is a bit tricky unless you have experience soldering SMT, instead you might want to solder wires on there going to a membrane pad. At least then the same problem isnt going to happen again.


If you need any advice on soldering, or someone to do it for ya for the price of a beer, PM me

Or just buy a new board, i here them Virtue ones are dropping in price . But seriously, Lucky stage 4.

 

[Dusty]

appreciate the answers and suggestions chaps.

soldering is out of the question. I have seen better hands on a digital watch..

however, I think the answer could just be a replacement board, it is only for a small project marker anyway.

having no idea about lucky stage whatever they are, which one is cheapest and most imprtantly easiest to fit?? what sort of money do they run anyway?

cheers,

Jim

The lucky stage 4 board with SP noid is probably the cheapest, retailing at £67.
The lucky stage 4 board with Mac noid is the most reliable and in my opinion the best ion board out, it retails at £81.

These boards are sold out at Lucky Europe, and heavily backordered in the US. So you will need to find a dealer that still has some in stock or find one second hand.


Whatever board you go for make sure its compatible with a membrane pad. The Ion button is a pain in the ass.

and it feels like you have been pushing on a nail to turn it on.

 

[ION_CRAZY]

shame you just missed out on our scenario dreams order, ION T board for £45 and you get a membrane pad

the virtue board has just come down in price chap its about £70 chap with a life time guarantee and GOOD tec support to.
