Devo 12 power off

I noticed today that my devo12s sometimes takes a while to power down after the switch is put in the "off" position. This may be a hardware issue, but i wanted to post here to see if anyone is having the same issue.

On mine, when switching off the power, I get a quick series of descending tones, then immediately the screen goes off, a little less than 1 full second after switching power to off.

Mine does the regular shutdown "sometimes", but there are times when i pull the switch down and just sit there for a long time waiting to see if it ever turns off. I end up pulling the switch up and then down again until it turns off. Sometimes its like a 5 second delay before it shuts down. And sometimes it shuts down right away.

I belive its the switch itself.

I have never noticed a delay with mine.

Oh man, do you think i should go in and try to fix it now, or wait until the complete failure ( when i can no longer turn off my tx )? I really dont want to open it up with the chance of messing something else up.

Thnx, i'll use it as is for now. I find that if im firm with it, it does what its supposed to do. I'll try to be carefull not to break it or damage it any further. If or when it does finaly break i guess i'll open it up and see what i can find. I just have to double check every time i shut it down.

I think i found out what i was doing wrong. I started using my finger nail to push the switch up or down, not using my finger/thumb on top pressing down into the button. I think the "pressing" is causing the mechanics inside to get disturbed. Now that all force is in a direct up or down, and not into the button, i have not had any power down problems.

Someone got a fix on that? I just got my 12s. Brand new, and sometimes does'nt turn off. As I bought it form HonkKong (miracle mart) I won't return it for an exchange if this problem is not serious enough to bother.

Also some notice that the walkers website doesn't provide support anymore for almost anything except devo f12 and some quad? it's been like this for about 3 week. They seems to be building a new website. My brother also got de 12s but with a 1.6 firmware and I can't find it anywhere. Someone have a clue? The more recent firmware a found was 1.5.. I will surely post in another topic for this ...

I just found a way to insure that the switch works as it should every time. I have to use my finger nail and pry it to the off position from the top. Its a mechanical problem with the switch and I did not bother to open it up to investigate if it could be fixed. It worked fine for about two years now, just using finger nail.

Thank you kdean I did the nail trick but for me, pressing with the thumb seems to work best. Sometime it takes 3-4 try before the tx goes off. As the tx is bnib I will contact miracle mart with this issue as it will probably go worst over time... I will have to wait a couple weeks before installing deviation. How do you find deviation firmware on you 12 vs stock?

I've never used the stock firmware, always used deviation.

I got an exchange for my devo12s. Everything is now perfect and I assume the power switch was faulty. I must say I'm impressed from miracle-mart as they paid for the shipping cost
