One of our pneumatic solenoids made a buzzing sound, and then proceeded to not work, as there was no air pressure inside of the cylinder. We then changed out the solenoid for another new solenoid and it worked until the solenoid made another buzzing sound and had the same problem. We then switched it out for an old solenoid and it worked. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you fix it?

Every hardware problem I’ve had has been sorted out quickly by contacting vex support: Sales & Support - VEX Robotics
I’ve had tons of issues with the new V5 solenoids buzzing when in the v5 devices menu. The only solution I have found is to not buy them at all and get components from SMC. The Vex solenoids are very bad comparativeley, being less reliable and bigger.
