WOOOO!!!!! just fixed my "broken" drum pad!!!

Wow, I can't believe it!!! I was so disappointed that my red drum pad stopped working only a few hours after I got this game, but me and my friend just had a great stoner moment and tried something that we thought might work...anyway, for people who might experience the same problem or wanna know what I did, umm, well we just took the red pad off since it is removeable, and with a small screw driver, I took out the 2 screws on the middle of the red pad where the wire runs to (the side with the bandage looking things), we played around with the pad and realized that by pushing the bandage looking thing with the screws and spring removed, it causes the red button to be activated, so then it hit me that, maybe the spring being screwed down to the bandage looking thing was too tight and wasn't springing back into position, so basically the whole time, the spring was just screwed on to tight....hahahha, I am so happy I dont have to deal with returning this thing to the US, that was going to be hell since Canadians aren't getting much help yet....phew, dodge a ****in bullet, now back to playing!!!!

Good for you. I hope it works well.

I'm having a hard time picturing what you did though.

Next time, try to take pictures for the rest so they can see exactly what your fix was.

this pic (if it loads) is of the underneath of the drum pad, that plastic round part in the center of the pad where the wires run to is screwed down by two screws, they were just too tight or tightened from playing, but it kept the button always pushed down on the sensor...hope it is more clear, i can add more pics too
