I just got the new silver 995 and me being the tard that i am and wanting to tinker with stuff took it apart to take a look but once i put it back together it won't turn on. All that i can see it doing is the speaker turns on but nothing else. Don't know whats wrong with it. Can anyone help?!!!

How long ago did you purchase it? Did you keep the receipt? If it was recent I'd return it and say it's defective. When you get the new one, try to contain your curiosity

X2, and it really isn't a problem with the 995, sounds like a user issue to me.

Unless you are 100% sure you know what your doing, please do not try to take apart your high-end detector (Belscort or V1).

Anyways, generally that voids your warrenty, but if you go to a store, they probably wont be able to tell that you mucked around with it.

At least you accept that you pulled a du'oh move. Where did you buy it from?

well i tried it before i pulled it apart and it worked fine and dandy, but once i did it seems like something was triggered on the unit and it won't power up fully again. It's just really strange

Again, try to take it back to the store I'd say.

Damaged by static electricity.

Might be an anti-tampering mode?

Yea, this makes sense. I dont think the average person realizes this can also happen with their computer.

Many people add more ram, etc without being properly grounded. I don't think its very common on computers but it still can happen.

This is really an exageration... I have been building computers for who knows how long and never once have had issues with static.

I'm totally guessing here, but maybe something is pressing up against the "dark" button on the inside? Does it make the start up sounds or is there no sound and no lights?

I guess it couldn't hurt to open it again and see if any wires were disconnected anywhere, or something came off of the board...

But if you bought it from a store I'd probably take it back too and ask for an exchange...
