Location: Upper Left USA		Ok, I know the answer but I'm still holding out that there's a cure.

I just received via Fleabay an OP Pro with can and pickup. The Op Pro has the continuous Batt light on unless the battery is removed.

Have there been any easy cures or remedies for this or do I need to send it back?

If that doesn't work and there's nothing obvious externally, the only people I can think of who would know the answer would be the factory people.

Location: Upper Left USA		The light is red and it is on even when the preamp is out of the guitar.

Contacted Seller and they have another one to swap out.
Looked inside and its all circuit board with a wax like coating.

And I have never seen a green light on an OP-Pro...
Am I missing something?

Smart lad, Michael- as you have stated, your soldering permit was revoked some time ago.
