my00wrx1 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) I have a C-more Slideride on a CZ Czechmate. Today the dot started to shut off and fade in and out. This particularly occurred after a shot had been fired, the slide racked or sometimes if the gun was tapped or bumped. When the dot had shut off or was faint I noticed that if I applied some pressure to the on/off twist switch, pushing the switch forward slightly, the dot would come back on or brighten. The on/off twist switch is the non-click type. Is this likely to be a simple fix by replacing the diode or more likely the C-more has some other problem and I need a new one? I tried replacing the battery and used contact cleaner and compressed air to clean the diode and around the switch without success.

Bkreutz Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Probably needs a new switch. I just send them back to CMore for repair and pull out one of my spares. (if you shoot Open, you should have at least one spare, preferably more). CMore will typically fix the old one unless they feel that it would be better to replace it. In that case they have offered me a replacement at a very deep discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my00wrx1 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Thanks Bkreutz, I take it you need to send the complete Slideride to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Sounds like new switch needed to me too. Send it to cmore for repair. I also always have a spare scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
