    Hi,
    Any idea why the little magnet (part of the OB probe) has lost ALL magnetism? Weird.

    Maybe the magnet fell out of the metal casing? 6*1mm neodymium magnets, you can get spares on amazon if yours is lost. Its just a little disk magnet that sits in the metal casing

    Ah ha! I'll take a closer look today. That would certainly explain it.

    Is there anything you DON'T have good advice for? Haha.

    Regards,
    Duncan

    Check around the machine, maybe it stuck to something metal nearby :)
