I think you and I would get along really well. I feel like I made a new friend. Thank you SO much for repairing one you found in the trash. You're doing God's work. Glad you did it. 👍🤘🪛

So glad it helped! These are the comments I live for. Thanks for your reply.

post a youtube video and show me. I will help you.

Also, this cash register has different beeping sounds compared to other copies of it.

If you look in the slot where you slide the card, there are two switches. One is for coupon and the other is for credit card. I took a paper index card and pushed it down into the slot to find out where the marks from the switches would need to be. The little button switches in the slot left tiny little indentations on the index card. I held the index card against the plastic card and marked where I needed to make the notch. Then I carefully used a small pocket knife to carve a groove that would be effective for the credit card function. Good luck!

I would clean the area where the infrared sensor is located. Remove the screws that hold in the infrared sensor plate and see if there's dirt that needs to be cleaned out if there. Good luck!

@@PeterDana313 Thanks for the speedy reply. I tried what you suggested, but it doesn't close. It opens automatically just fine, but then just sits there open and makes a short humming noise when you get in range again to close it, the blue lights flash, but the lid just stays up. Even when you press on the little icon in the right front that would normally close the lid, no luck. I thought about just using it as is, but after a few weeks of walking by a stinky open trash can and having to actually touch it to close it, that's gotten tiresome, so I think I will just have to spring for a new (and much more expensive these days!) motion-activated can. Thanks anyway!

Mine does exactly the same, opens fine but then I can see the blue lights count down to the close position but fails to close. Did you manage to find a solution at all? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I didn't. It's really aggravating, because there's probably just some little component that could possibly be replaced, if only one knew what it was. Such a waste to throw away the whole can. I'm just using mine as is for the time being. It's not a big deal for me to leave it open because it's around the corner from the kitchen counter so you don't see it unless you're leaving the kitchen. It's actually more convenient to have it open, because I can just toss things into it from the side, rather than having to walk around to the front to activate the motion sensor (when it was working). That's probably not an optimal situation if you have it in a place where people will be walking by it a lot (yucky). I'm keeping my eye out for a deal on another one, but even on sale, all of them are pretty expensive these days. I don't know why what is essentially a metal and plastic box with some minor electronics on top has to cost that much. @@nettineptune8125

​@@nettineptune8125 Sorry netti, I didn't. Thanks for asking. It's really aggravating, because there also might just be some little component that could be replaced in the top. Such a waste to throw away the whole can. I'm using mine as is for the time being and watching out for a deal on a new one, although all of them are pretty expensive these days, even on sale. I don't know why what is essentially a metal and plastic box with some minor electronics on top has to cost that much. (Costco was charging a much more reasonable amount for that can a few years ago -- I think I paid around $50.)

My issue is the same. Only my wire isn’t broken. I wish we can contact this person.

If you did everything and it's still not working it may have given up the ghost.

I know how it feels. And I'm sorry it didn't work for you. At this point you will have to manually lift the lid and close it.

Did you check the switch for the sensor? Not the unit on/off but the switch for the sensor

I am so happy you diagnosed it and fixed it. Here's to many more years of happy motion sensor trash can use. If we lived closer to each other I would suggest we have a drink together and throw away the bottle caps into the motion sensor can!

Is there a way to contact you , so I can tell you what’s wrong with mine? The wire is in tack.

Hi Velma, thanks for letting me know and I'm so happy it has helping a lot of people! I have since turned comments back on. Happy small appliance repairs to you and your family. :)

Me too! Glad I’m not the only one who knows about or had this model as a kid, I remember the voice being a bit crustier and distorted, possibly even higher pitched? But it sounds relatively close to this video. Do you have any ideas as to where I could find videos of it, or are you lost too, it seems like a really obscure old variant. I can check the date it came out because we threw out the box, but I was wondering if you would have any clues. I remember it having all of the features of this variant, plus a different turquoise, pink and yellow color scheme. I still own the variant I’m referring to, but I can’t access or record footage of it until about a week from now, let me know if you’re interested!

Yes. Take it apart and you can unlock it

ME TO

Your probably in 7th grade now

Uh oh.

My card won’t work when I try to get credit card mode

@@jaceday21 do you need help?

The prize or the price?

If i lost my coupon card what kind of card that i can used to replace it...hehehe can u suggest me

@@iedalavinda2397 I would tape together 2-3 plastic cards and make notches in the areas to activate the little buttons in the card swipe area.

Thank you kindly! I really appreciate that.

chon eBay, or make me an offer.

@@PeterDana313 Hi thanks for the video. I'm looking for this for my kids, why did you need to modify it?

@@simplymynz8379 Great question, I'm so glad you asked. Originally this ash register came with a coupon card and a credit card. Each card has a notch on the edge. We lost the credit card so I modified the coupon card with a notch so that it would trigger the credit card sound purchase function.
