Won't turn on

Posted by harold on 04/04/2012 21:28

:::Hi All,
::: I have an annoying one here. GE-540 won't turn on. The electronics are fine, but the shaft for the on/off is rusted and won't turn!
::: I have done the WD-40 thing and 3-in-1 oil for the past day and it shows no signs of budging. (I have removed it from the set.) My current plan is to keep at it with the lubricants for as long as it takes, but does anyone know a short cut?

:::All the Best,

:::You could try using a soldering iron to put a little heat to the shaft. The expansion and contraction of the shaft should allow the oil to get in there. Good luck with it.
