    Default blinder m20 alert stuck on.. need replacement

    i have a blinder m20 set up in my work van and a couple of days ago the alert went off and i wasn't being lasered. it stayed on and never went off. I've tried switching it on and off but it just stays on.

    after tested the heads i've found 1 head is not firing so i guess from reading other threads i need a replacement. i managed to read the #s on the back with a mirror even though the heads are upside down in my grill.

    it reads as follows: 5E 7.25.04 HP J9

    does anyone have a spare head with this version or can i buy 1 from the blinder guy?

    thanks

    There is a problem with your jammers...Mine had the similar problem and here is the video I made of it
    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjuvWZVizmQ]YouTube - Blinder Xtreme M20 Laser Jammer Broken? (2 of 2)[/ame]


    M20 replacement heads are hard to find I gave up searching for a replacement to my broken M20

    Yep I have Laser Interceptors right now but thats because I purchased them before I had a problem with my M20.

    I was originally planning to continue to use the Blinder M20 along with my Laser Interceptor

    lol, i was thinking about the laser interceptors a few months back but 1. their expensive. 2. my laser jammers WERE working fine back then. 3. there is a lot of negative info online about the quality and customer support. what has your experience been?

    will 1 blinder work by itself? i know it would be only be 50% coverage but will it give you any defense?

    Definitely not. I highly doubt that one M20 sensor will provide any resistance whatsoever.

    A center mounted M20 (M10) provided pretty respectable coverage against the PL3 in IRCMUSA's videos (Honda Civic). JTG center mass!
