Lately I've been having problems with pads coming apart and flying off, and noticing there is a lot of heat on the backing plate. I took the backing plate off and noticed there was minor scrapage where the plate meets the PC. I don't know what to do, I feel like throwing my PC in a lake. I paid all that money for good equipment and this is what I get. It's making me :mad:
 
2nd that. if it is scraping then you need the washer. If you don't have it you can get a fiber washer at the hardware store.
 
Looks like the washer is missing from your PC from the damaged you have mention and the part of pads coming off could be a number of things happening, one is the heat, the BP or pads are damaged in some way or your using way too much product and not changing your pads and / or cleaning them on the fly.

Did you put the washer on the backing plate before installing?

No, no, no, I clean my pads, dry them, and only use 4 pea sized drops. It is definatly the heat, and that's causing the glue to soften up on the pads causing them to malfunction :mad:
 
The washer should have been in the box where the PC 7424XP was in. If not you can call where you got it from and they should send you a new one to you. On the pads have you center them properly? sometimes that causes them too come off.
 
Yes I had it centered properly, but I noticed they started to warp and become uneven. The velcro part was still centered but the foam was warped and wobbly...


I guess this is a lifelong lesson... MAKE SURE THAT WASHER IS IN!!!!
 
IMO it's the backing plate then, but too much product coming thru the back will cause this problem also, check a different backing plate to see if your having the same problem.
 
^^That's not a bad suggestion, but I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with the backing plate rubbing against the counter weight which is causing it to heat up. I'm going to buy a new washer tomarrow, and if that doesn't work then I'll definatly buy a new BP
