Hi!

I kept noticing a rattling from my LSL-ST. I thought it was the battery. Then, while changing battery I noticed that the head has a rattling inside it. Like two peas knocking?

Is that normal?

GJW,

Thank you!

Sounds like Peter is saying that it would affect water proofness! Hey lucky I didn't try immersing it in a glass of water and freezing it while it's on! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

So, should it be returned then? Do I need an RMA from Peter? Or just send it back with a note. Do they want the whole thing or just send the head back?

i had a loose retainer ring on the pcb on a lsl second i recently got.it flickered a bit and i found the board a bit loose.the copper wave washer kept it from rattling though.
snugged it up and no further problem.had loctite on it so it didnt back off just didnt get tightend properly during assembly.
