Mk3m collars, anyone repair them?

[Sam H 80]

I'm having problems with my MK3m collar and after some trial and error using my friends working collar i'm pretty sure the problem is with the base (the piece that doesn't hold the battery's) the connector in the base was pretty loose so i put some superglue on it but it's still not working. Has anyone any idea what i can do or if there's anyone repairing them like they do the MK1s?

 

Cheers Sam

clean off the glue as it may interfere with metal conducting.Try a thin piece of silver foil where you think the battery connectors join up if that works then

take it out and replace with thin piece of metal and solder it in place.

i sent my faulty collar to deben yesterday it would not turn on or off, phoned today and they have sent a brand new one out! ring deben and ask to speak to service guys!

Alright mate how long have you had your collar? Will Deben repair them even if you've had them for afew years? Did they charge you for the new collar they sent you?

That's good to know if i ever have problems in the future, i'm surprised at the service form Deben to be honest, cheers kps1979

It's the classic old problem with those collars, Deben will sort it most of the time but sometimes you have to apply a little pressure

yeah thats right, i think it helped that i had bought a new collar that day too! i told them i needed it asap as im going away... im happy with the service deben give me, maybe i caught them on a good day!
