TIMER/BUZZER (S25E 67720)

Post by dougal » Tue Nov 12, 2019 12:59 pm

Hi. My timer/buzzer was so quiet the only way I could hear it was if I had my head in the drivers footwell. When I managed to get to it I found that if I touched the plastic outer case it gave an single loud beep. In my logic I thought if I gave it a tap to the case it might encourage it back to its normal sound, it did work after a few taps but I think I gave it one tap to many as it stopped working completely. Is it possible test it out or do I just have to replace it with one that works?

Bit more than a Buzzer its the Sound Warning System, takes several inputs and Beeps away merrily to annoy some people and keep the rest of us safe ;-)

Handy to know Bongy is in reverse.

It's possible to back up a couple of feet, foot on brake, forget and go the wrong was as you start off. :wink:

Edit: And I value the reminder when I leave the lights on. 8)

I hear what you say, and if the world was prefect we wouldn't need ABS, or seat belts, or air bags...

As I have left the lights on twice recently which flattened the battery once. I tend to agree that it is a bit more than a warning system and would prefer to hear a few beeps than be stuck some where with a flat battery.
Thanks for all the comments.

Back on subject: I havnt bothered to upload any photos as there is little you will be able to do on said Pcb, I would be enclined to by all means take it apart and examine for corrosion or damage but there is only 1 ic and a mainly pile of diodes amongst others.
Advice: replacement through the club, if they haven't any in stock, pm me... Not wanting any toe stepping
Thanks for your time in looking into your spare. I thought there would not be any moving parts inside that I could repair myself so you have saved me the time and effort. as the club is closed at moment I am in limbo as to what is the next step. Any help in locating a working replacement would be great .

Hi Dougal,
Can i ask what you paid please? I did look on the website for the same thing, but couldn't find it.
Mine is knackered and requires replacement.
Cheers

Hi Callum. Sorry for the delay in replying. It cost me £25 + postage from Bongo Spares, delivered the next day.
They are advertised on Bongo Fury.
Good luck in getting one.

Dougal :)
