    Sadly, not. I went out of town and couldn't get it done right away, tree jobs, but last night I changed it, and it did not fix it. Does that mean it is my power capacitor?/

    You are King! You get the first piece I find) I'm gonna go warm up the hair dryer now! Is there a safe way to seal the edge, where it meets the plastic body? Silicone? I heard there are ways to protect it. How bout saran wrap

    I did have the boards apart once, when trying to remove the power cap That's what I thought it was. I saw videos on replacing that part... hair dryer! I also saw the power capacitor replacement video, but mine looks fine. Are you selling those screens?

    I did have the boards apart once, when trying to remove the power cap, but that was unsuccessful. And I checked this morning, I have power at the board!

    I found power at the board, a thin red wire and a thin black one. First try I got continuity.

    Can anyone say they think from the pic that the capacitor is bad? I'm thinking no myself... why I think it could be the screen=/

    battery compartment checks 12+ volts. I need a diagram to see which wires to check at the board. Do I have to take the handle tube apart for anything???

    Power capacitor is still flat on top... I tried removing it with a friend that noticed this, and said it may still be good becausr it didnt exoand on top. Should I change it anyway, or could it be the screen pad that needs replacing? Is there a good source in the NE USA? This was a free detector
