QJ Timer Malfunction, How to Fix?

[RussianWhiteBoi]

Hi

I'm very disappointed in my timer. It wont start; I put my hands on the pads and the red light comes on, then green light flickers. Sometimes the green light won't come on at all; just the red one. There is nothing wrong with batteries. I've had the timer for about a month now, so it's not that I can't use it. Can someone tell me why this is happening/how to fix it? Thanks!

Have you tried new batteries? If its definitely not the batteries, open it up - one I had came with a wire loose, another really badly connected. Clutching at straws a little I know, but if it is anything beyond this, just get a new one.

QJs are just a KO of Speedstacks, it's a cheaper version that sucks.

anyway, just open it up and try to figure out what's wrong with it. As James said, it may just be a loose wire.

Thank you for the input.

I'll try this. Though from past experience I've got very little faith in QJ. I simultaneously bought their timer, 2x3x3, megaminx, and pyraminx. The megaminx was the only puzzle that didn't suck.

QJ pyraminx is awesome...QJ megaminx on the other hand

I've seen multiple Speedstacks ones with the same problem, FYI.

But yeah, I'd say to take a look at the circuitry if it's definitely not the batteries; Maybe post pictures of the internals if you don't figure it out.

I took out the batteries than put them back in correctly.
