Does it make a click when you wire it directly to a battery in either       direction? Or, when you put it on your ohm meter, does it initially show some       conductance but slowly        shows as higher resistance?       >        > If it is a sound maker, you may have it wired backwards. Or it may be dead       (not likely). If it is working, it should make noise when you wire it       directly to a battery with the correct polarity.              I disconnected led and substituted the buzzer.              It does beep but at a fast rate compared to what it sounds when connected       directly to battery.              Andy                            Andy              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
