Guinness Surger Help (Or Electronics Experts)

So I've plugged it in, and the unit is making a continous clicking noise.

Then, when I push the button, it emits a high pitched bleep lasting 2 seconds.

What's going on?

What, in electronics, does a continous clicking sound usually mean?

Yeah, I've obviously put water on the plate but that doesn't explain the clicking noises.

This is typical. God hates me. Sums up my day really!

In electronics what is the usual symptom of a continous clicking sound?

Well if it's a vibrator it means it's working good, all else, borked.

Yeah but when I push the button the Ultra Sound thing comes on for 2 seconds then stops, and the unit returns to the clicking sound.

Blast I can't ring them either... out of hours.

Smack it a bit?

I'll let you know what happens.

If I screw it up even more and Guinness refuse to replace it, i'll blame you

Nope, still doesn't work.

What are you saying... I should use a hammer?

Somehow this approach seems futile.

I've gotta say though, the Guinness from the surger cans does taste very good indeed.

Tommy B · 17 Mar 2006 at 19:44

Sounds good.

I've no been told you can pick them up in the local where I live, which wasn't on the Guinness website. I feel guted now! Should I go and pick one up, or just get Guinness to repair this one?

go and pick one up would be quicker and easier.

sorry for delay been on t3h phone!

Yeah but I'm left with the broken one!

I'll pick one up... get the broken one repaired, and sell it on to my mate. At least I'll gain 2 cans of Guinness and another pint glass!

Tommy B · 18 Mar 2006 at 14:13

Ok now I feel stupid.

Apparently the can I used was "faulty" WHAT THE **** !!???

I bought one from Tescos this morning and it did exactly the same thing, but this time it worked. I didn't realise that the high pitched beep was actually the thing working, at least I thought it went on for 2 minutes (as the instructions said) but it only goes on for about 2 seconds, and the HEAD takes 2 minutes to form. DOH!

So now I've got 2. Fantastic

All this for a pint of muddy water

There is no drink in the world like Guinness. There is nothing better, except maybe water when you've been playing football for several hours.
