I have a "custom" series pwm box. One of the negative contacts snapped off. The company, fjbmz, has closed its door and, the modder valkair mods has also closed shop. Where can i send my box to have the contact replaced?
I have had zero luck finding anything on google and, i dont use facebook.

Maybe try a local electronics welding shop? If you know anything about electrical soldering, you might be able to do it yourself. Don't try unless you know a bit about electrical soldering. (Like making sure you don't short the mod)
Maybe a local machine shop can make the piece that broke off?
If the company went out of business and the store closed.. you are pretty limited. Might be time to look at a new box mod.

You are going to have to find an amateur box modder to replace the battery sled.
It's an easy job for someone who knows what they are doing.

You may get lucky and someone will either see this and be able to fix it for you or tag someone who is willing and able to take a look at it for you.

@f1r3b1rd any ideas?

I was kind of shocked that I couldn' even find just the contacts on Google! If I could buy contacts, I'd go get a basic solering iron and try it myself. My current solderingbiton wouldn' work for this small job, it's a "pen" torch with soldering tips.
I called a shop yesterday that referred me to Sean Bass of mysterybox mods but, he' on facebook! I' going to see if my wife can look him up, she uses facebook.

The box was present a year and a half ago. It's special to me which is why I want to get it fixed.

I can't remember what chip this is but, it's one that has 5 click on/off and 8 second firing automatic shutoff!

Awesome, Thank you mattp169, that' what I needed!
When the contact first broke several months months ago, I found them at a lot of places. Now that I want to get my box fixed or possibly fix it myself, I couldn' find anything LOL

That link is for dual 26650 but, nonetheless it reminded that fastyech was an option. Im going to browse their site later. Id love to find actual spring negatives or even the button style like sigelei has in the old 100 and 150! Heck, now that my thought process is going, I may try dismantling my sigelei 100 and try using those contacts LOL

Upon browsing fasttech, I think I'm going to order their camo blue limitless rdta plus topcap and their blue glass for the rdta plus!

I am going to be sending my box to a guy named Terry Clements, a.k.a. "themadscientist". Terry is going to completely rebuild mine.
