What i found with a magnifying glass was a dead short to ground when the stick was in a certain postion . Check your wires where they exit the conduit (metal pipe) and you will find where the sharp edge has rubbed thru the insulation to the bare wire causing a short. That conduit i speak of comes from stick section feeding down to the base. My fix was a piece of electrical tape and a little foam. I hope this helps those of you with the same issue. Cheers !!!! I have been operating issue free for two weeks since repair.
Thanks
