Touch sensors hard to operate

[corona with lime]

I have a touch sensor model which works if you moisten your finger before touching it or if you press rather hard. Normal touching will not activate the watch. No, my hands are not abnormally dry.

I have checked the contact between the module and the buttons and it is clean.

Any ideas how to go about correcting the problem ?

Often times the skin on the index finger has just enough callus to prevent the sensor from operating. I have found that if you press it with the "pinky" finger, it will activate the switch.

If this doesn't work, you may have to clean up the contact on the module and bend the contact up a bit so that it makes a better connection with the switch.

Billy, I hope that isn't the watch I just sold you? It was working fine when I mailed it. Greg R. If it is send it back and I'll send you a new one.

Greg
Your watch is perfect, as I suspect is everything you sell! (The wife was thrilled with her gift) :D

The one I'm talking about was a "cross my fingers" purchase for $50 to see if I could get it runnng.

And as long as I'm here, for anyone thinking about a purchase on Greg's eBay auctions, he is a gentleman and first class seller.

Thanks Billy, My auctions might say no returns accepted,but I will fix or replace watch if something is wrong when the buyer receives it. Greg R. I want to keep my feedback at 100% positive!!

Hi,
Any info on the "ol_stuff" guy who has synchronar , Pulsar , Hamilton and boxes in big quantities.
Does he know anything about it like he claims?
Did anyone of you get a bargain from him?

Thats a nice PRM avatar you have there Compucron. I haven't seen one since we closed up Pulsar Repair Service in 1984.
