My pc died

So i went to spread the polish around on 3, and it barely started moving. So i bumped the speed up and pc started going to speed. When i finished the panel i checked out the machine and it would have trouble starting on any speed under 3. So i went and checked the manual, tried to turn the machine on again and nothing. It's dead. Anyone have this happen before?

Re: My pc died

Yeah im curious to know how much it was used and for how many years.

I know people who have had their PC for 10+ years and have seen only god knows how many vehicles.

Re: My pc died

It may be just the cord...or the switch or brushes...you can get parts online and reapir it...and the parts are not expensive....theres a place that sell the parts...even gives a schmatic of the PC....

Re: My pc died

I've had it for over a year. It's only seen about 15 details. Poopy.

Al that's a good idea. I plan on doing that but i had to go down to a local tool store and pick up a new one. I really have to get my car done. It's been sitting in my garage for five days already! No time to mess around with the old one right now. But when i get a chance i'll try to refurb the old one and see if anyone wants a pc.

if it can't be fixed (hopefully it will), have you thought about purchasing the UDM?

Re: My pc died

If it didn't want to start on some speeds and did on the higher speeds, sounds like the "switch" is bad.
Good luck, Changeling
