Title says it all, if anyone has had the same problem in the past, and has any solutions, that would be great.

Thank you.

Solution = Don't drop it

Seriously though L&B's customer service is legendary.

If the unit is not working drop them a line or speak to the dealer that you bought the Solo from...

Is it a Humpty Dumpty situation?

Well I have put it back together, and all the lights come on but no sound. It's not brand new, I got it off a guy on here. But I tried looking and seeing if there was a way I could test and see how loud it was, but it still makes no sound whatsoever. I'm able to change the alarms from when they go off,

Does it go off at all whenever your changing the alerts?

Thanks for the help.

Pretty much the same thing happened to me. I emailed L&B they said to send it to them and they would repair it free of charge.

As stated they have excellent customer service

Well I messed with it all day at work, and have figured out that it was two tiny little springs that go from the chip to the speaker. So as soon as I got home, I hunted through the entire floor, and managed to find one. For the other connection I just used some aluminum foil, and it's working again. I'm still going to see if I can get the springs from them in the morning.

But anyways thanks for all the replies!

Did it beep right before it hit the ground?

I know something that has like 15 audibles. It's the farmers field right north of the DZ. If every time I organized a walk-through to find credit card, wallets, audibles, ripcords, et cetera, I'd almost have a jump ticket.

Do you trust your life to a audible?

Yes, I actually designed and made my own container, main, and reserve. It works most of the time.


Anyways, I talked with L&B and they said they would fix the thing for free of charge. Amazing company.
