Chargmaster buttons stopped working

Anyone run into this problem?

I have an older Chargemaster that sometimes freezes up during use, and I have to unplug the power source then boot it up again.

Thanks, but half my buttons stopped working.

One of my cm lite had the same problem. Called RCBS tech support. Gave them the serial number. And sent them my broken one. And then they sent me a new replacement. Great service there..

I had one do the same thing. I guess after whatever warranty they have expired. RCBS wanted enough $ to fix it that I didn’t bother with it and I didn’t buy a replacement either. I’d call them and see what they want to do.

there's a fix on youtube somewhere.....you have to open up and re solder the keypad connections or something.....
mine does that some times. I just turn it on and off/unplug and give it a gentle tap here/there a few times then it's working again

sounds like the perfect excuse to get an autothrow

I now use a Lee powder measure with a Dandy Auto Trickler and a Lyman M5. A little more movement required but just as quick and more precise than my Chargemaster ever was.
