Re: Here we go again . . . Pioneer SX 850 Tech Problem

The switch relay is dirty, you need to sand the contacts. Very carefully pop the cover off, and using a very fine sandpaper strip or a fine, thin and small file depress the contacts and GENTLY sand them, then release and sand other side across the contact bridge.
Try and use a lint free cloth or can of air to remove any residue left from sanding.

If the relay is anything like the one in the sx750 it's a bit of a bitch to get the cover off. If you're not confident, remove the relay from the board before you proceed; it'll be easier that way anyhow.

If this doesn't work there could be myriad other problems, but the symptoms sound like dirty relay contacts.

Good luck and be careful.
