Rifle Scopes Comp M2 woes

[RTL]

I've got a Comp M2 I received in a trade at a show a couple months back. Had no battery in it so I couldn't test it and consequently didn't allow much for it. When I try to turn it on, the dimmer knob feels mushy and the dot will only come on if I fool with the dimmer knob, tap wiggle, etc. . . Fire a round and it's off again.
I've tapped the dimmer down a little and it's snugger now but no help, replaced batteries, cleaned the battery compartment, stretched the battery spring. Aimpoint hasn't responded to e-mail and I can't call from work during the day. Anybody got an idea to fix or should I just toss in in the box with other dead stuff??

Aimpoint is normaly pretty good at getting stuff fixed. I have a friend who's M2 stoped working, no red dot at all. He had his local gun store owner call in to customer service, and they had it back to him within a week.

I would keep trying, and Good luck with it.

Are you sure it's a real Aimpoint? There are a lot of fakes out there.

Far as I can tell it's genuine.

That's a good idea, I'll have my dealer try them and see if he has better luck.

Thanks guys

Read the post by Last Gunslinger a third of the way down this page, it explains exactly how to fix your problem yourself.

That seems to have done it and I found an 800 number that's answered on Saturday in the same thread.

THANKS ! ! !
