loose display magnets

buggeriamold · 7th October 2006, 22:21

I have the older style displays with the sliding metal reed switch bar. These bars are verry loose in there holders and the displays turn off at the slightest movement and i am getting quite sick of turning them on every time i check.

Any one else had this problem, or got an idea of how i can make this slider grip the bar a bit more.

Ya had the same problem. I just took a flatblade screw driver & pushed on both lips of the channel at about the middle. Dont push too hard just hard enough to put a crease on both lips. Works great.

I just contacted Jetsam and they sent me updated backs that work much better.
