vision handset repair (piezo button)

com1 · 18th November 2012, 15:31

Hi,

my handset just died after a dive (the right button does not work anymore).
Did anybody here already do a DIY repair of the Vision´s piezo buttons?
Is it worth the hassle and where can I get spare piezo buttons?

Option 2: Sending it back to APD, does anyone know how much they charge (I know I could ask direct, but now it´s weekend ...)

Cheers,
Scotty

Scotty,

You might want to check Welcome to SCHURTER I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it is made by Schurter. Just a guess, but I hope it helps!

I had the left one go , sent it back to AP they charged me £ 50 for the button.
They also found a voltage drop and traced it to the potted wiring in the head !
Cost me another £ 550 in total

I have had exactly the same problem with TWO buttons ... I replaced the three.

My unit is in for service now, including a button replacement.
Costs quoted are:

1 new button £50.00
Service £50.00
New Solenoid £72.34
Service first stages £35.26 each

All plus vat.
