TT10 Collar issues

[Budd Denny]

I have one collar out of 8 that is giving me fits, it always seems to turn on fine, always stays connected, shows good battery. When I go to shut it off after a couple hours of running I have to press down hard on the power button with a small object to shut it down, one time the light turned red and stayed on and the collar would beep long beeps with pauses between. Think it's a power button problem? I see the replacement buttons offered on ebay, how hard are they to change out?

It is a power button issue. The early ones were not a good setup. I've never used one of the replacement buttons. I got pissed one day and stuffed something sharp into one of my collars and poked a hole in the rubber seal on top of the button. I just ripped the rest of the plastic and rubber out of the way and got after a plastic thumb tack with the dremel tool and built a new one and used silicone to seal it in place. Still working and that was a couple years ago. I'm sure it will fail and I'll have to send it in for repair, but in the mean time it kept me hunting.

Come to find out, using the end of the antenna works well and doesn't ruin the seal on top. That is also one of the best things about the TT15 and the T5, the power buttons are way better.

The replacement buttons on ebay are from outside the U.S. do you know of anyone in the states selling them?
