So, I had to send back my pin pointer today for repairs. Sounded like something broke off inside the probe. It worked fine when turned on. But, when turned off would vibrate continuously. Anyone else had this problem?

nope, mine's been problem free so far. i "thought" i had something wrong with mine the other day, it wasn't shutting off for me but it turns out i was inadvertently holding the button down for too long and instead of turning it off, i was putting it into the settings mode, LOL. 
since then, i've turned it on and off a couple of hundred times and haven't done that with it since.

Here's a post from last week with some sort of issue like that, minus the constant vibration. http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=215238 I wanted to trade my Makro in for one but I dunno now.....

oh no......here we go
Mine is going back because it will either beep just one mono tone or it will turn on, but not beep at all. I have a thread about it as well.
Just a couple lemons. Nothing big. No company has ever made something without having some sort of failure rate in production. I literally have 5 regular GPP's though, so I am good until mine makes it back

I don't think there is any company that can make something without some failures.

Love my Makro! The only improvement I am planning to do is spray painting the top portion (minus the buttons and logo) orange or another high visibility color. I dropped it once and it took me about half and hour to find it.

Does the volume on yours sound the same when it's sensing something as it does when you power it down?

I think so....I will have to try it out to verify. I know it beeps (6 or 7) times when you power it down but as to the volume if I had to guess I would say it is the same. What is it supposed to do?

It's supposed to sound roughly the same volume but mine is about half that when it's sensing something. I cant hardly hear it over my Garrett headphones on my Pro.

The volume on mine is the same turning on/off as it is sensing.

Mine will false. Turning off then on will stop it. It is three years old and I've hammered it.

Pro pointer At issue
Well, the only issue with mine was when it was turned off. It would just vibrate constantly. I finally just unscrewed the battery cap to get it to stop.

THAT'S A NEW ONE! I would send it back. Things will probably only get worse
