Troubleshooting guide

Under some circumstances (but typically because of a pulling cable), the logger can become loose on its
pins and this is a classic cause of intermittent or erratic logging. If you suspect this sort of issue then it is
always worth checking that the logger is tightly home on its pins, but do so only when the console is fully
powered off. The logger usually needs a good firm push to ensure that it is fully home. New users can
sometimes be too timid with the amount of pressure applied, but (i) do make sure that the logger is correctly
lined up on its pins before applying pressure; and (ii) obviously don’t use a totally disproportionate amount
of force.
The logger relies on there being a slight degree of splay on the pins in order to hold it tightly in place. In rare
cases, the pins may be too parallel with one another and the logger will then not be tightly retained. In
practice, the simplest solution in such cases is to apply a small rectangle of sticky-backed foam to the inside
surface of the battery compartment cover, just to apply extra pressure on the logger – this fix works well and
is typically a better alternative than sending the console back to the service centre for ‘repair’.
