Hi Jesper,
 
I had this fault already. In my case it was the switch, which (only in MK1) is basicly two switches: If you press it, you open one circuit and close another one. One side malfunction and you cannot stop or start.
 
Replace it and have fun again.
 
Best
 
Michael

Hi list,

one of my analogue claptraps has got a clap problem that I just
discovered. I mainly trigger it from external trigger but now and then I
need to tweak the sound and then I use the autoclapping function.
Normally that works just fine but now I can turn it on, but not off. I
need to use the on/off switch to get it back to normal. And then, if I
autoclap again it won't stop.

Since the button obviously works I don't expect dirt or corrosion. I
haven't checked the schematics yet, but it sounds like some switch logic
circuit to me. Anyone who has experienced the same or maybe know exactly
what's wrong?

It's not a big issue, but it's bloody annoying-ing-ing-ing-ing.

It's the mk1 btw (serial 008, so it's an early bird...)
