I'm totally bummed! My Silver Umax just stopped working!!

[saginawian]

I've been loving my Silver Umax. I had just finished a hunt, powered down, went back out to hunt, turned it on and nothing. Didn't get it wet, no sand, nothing unusual happened to it. I changed batteries, nothing. Put brand new battery in - nothing. Mysterious. The thing just died and never powered back up. Any ideas? Anyone know how I go about getting this repaired? I got it second hand,(nearly new) I'm hoping they will honor the lifetime warranty thing. I read people say that they will. I sure hope so, I love that thing.

Hello Ian, yes just send it in and I'm sure there will be no charge unless real serious. I know a fellow that poked a hole through the digital readout on his DeLeon and he had bought it second hand also. He sent it in and got it back good as new no charge. So I would get it in the mail Ian. Ok God Bless and happy hunting.

Cool, thanks for the encouragement!!! I'll put it in the mail monday. I think this is just a fluke b/c I haven't read about any problems with any tesoro in these forums.

First and foremost Tesoro treats its customers well and quite liberal on warranties or lack of them..First thing I would do is buy a fresh set of batteries as even putting batteries in a unit they may be faulty as its happened to me...Second thing I would do is clean the battery connections..pen eraser works well..It seems to me a faulty solder joint among other small things may be the culprit..If so send it to Tesoro and am sure you will have it back to you working well in no time...
