astro saber with button problems

Post by dvpman »

I have a astro saber 3 and when I tighten the 2 screws on the bottom I lose the keypad function. Has anyone had this before ?? if I loosen the screws I get it back but the battery shakes a bit.

any help would be great.

What radios do you own?: Progreso soup can with CRT

Case & chassis retaining screws...

These screws have a definite torque setting in the manual, and you'll have trouble if they're too loose or too tight, as you've found out. They don't have to be super-tight to do their job.

thanks guys.

I replaced the front shield with another one and works fine in that radio and the one that was playing up works fine too. I can live with that.
