Whites TRX acting up

JAK said:

First try a brand new battery. I had a similar problem and had it replaced by Whites back in the day.

I was out today looking for property markers for a friend and my TRX would not turn off and started playing a tune. I tried to shut it off a couple of times and it wouldn’t turn off. I laid it on the ground and finished what I was doing and then tried again and now it turned off.
Has this happened to anyone else? What does the tune mean? I haven’t been able to replicate it.

I had trouble turning it on earlier now it turns on but not off. The battery I’m using works okay in a different TRX.

TIA

Whites was known to put what they called
an easter egg in products. I never heard the tune in any Whites stuff myself. It was some kind of melody.

Thanks, it seems like I may have heard that before.

You probably accidently hit up up down down left right left right A B.

Hoping for you a fresh battery or .. does the TRX have a "master reset"? ... restores it to normal. I found this:

Thanks. If I can get it working right I’ll give the master reset a try.

I put a fresh battery in it and sometimes it will turn on, sometimes it won’t. If it does turn on the only way to turn it off is to take the battery out.

Sounds like maybe the button is wonky. Does the button work correctly when the unit is on -- detuning for instance? As I recall, the TRX is disassembleable to replace the shell, maybe you can open it up and diagnose / spray electronic contact cleaner on the momentary switch/ displace any dirt or moisture...? Hope its salvagable!

The TRX is very easy and safe to pull out the innards. I’d look inside to see if you somehow gotten junk inside.

Funily enough I just saw a video about this on YouTube and initially thought is was somebody horsing about..If genuine, the TRX plays a few bars of Money, Money Money by Abba!
