Title: sticky pushbuttons
Post by: mastercave on May 09, 2003, 12:15:23 pm
What could cause sticky pushbuttons? I got some new happs ultimate pushbuttons and after a week of playing, one of the buttons is starting to stick slightly. could it be something with the microswitch? or is it just too much hard jamming?

Swap the switch with another button; if the problem moves, it's the switch....

it could be a microswitch problem....

I also have experienced that if the button itself is screwed too tight to the wood.... (that should only happen when you first screw it in...)

is the wood bend by your pounding on the panel ??....
wood expanded ??....

just a guess.....
