[QUOTE="iHs, post: 175913, member: 8799"] Since getting my Combo last June I've had to get the handset replaced once because of the battery connections inside it causing BSD (black screen of death :evil: :lol: ). The second handset has been ok so far but you never know. The BSD always happened when I was out so fiddling about taking the batteries out and then re inserting them again did the trick but was a complete PITA. :roll: It's possible for the screw thread on the battery cover for the pump to get jammed up over time with body sweat especially if it's seldome unscrewed. Now that it's off you might be able to put some vaseline around the top edge of the screw thread using a [b[u]]minute[/u][/b] amount from the edge of a cocktail stick. Thinking about it a bit more though, pencil lead would be ideal as that is a good lubricant. [/QUOTE]
