I was implanted 7/17/17 by Dr Deighton Warner Robins GA.
I returned 5 weeks later and he got it to inflate then deflated.
I get home and try my self and pump feels like a rock and I get no results at all.
What do I do to get pop .Repeated pressing in button? Or press on outside of rectangle above pump?
Once I get pop will the pump get softer and easy to squeeze?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it sounds like to have to reset the pump. Press on the button real hard, and hold it for 4 seconds. Then try pressing the bulb. You should feel the pop. It should then be easy to squeeze. Don't be surprised if you are only able to get 7 or 8 pumps.

Re: Ams - what is the pop?
Thank you.
I've just tried it 3 times and still no pops. Why it should be so difficult?

I'm in the same boat. I can't squeeze the button any harder, hold it for 5 seconds. Then try to pump and that sucker is as hard as a rock -- no pop. I keep trying this and then waiting a few hours for my scrotum to get over it.

For kicks just tried it half a dozen times, two popped on the second push and the others on the first push. Maybe the more you do it the easier it gets. Am 24 months since implant and inflate everyday while showering.

You shouldn't have to press the release too hard. Once pressed, if it has fluid, you will hear it draining back to the reservoir. You may need to hold it longer that 5 seconds while squeezing your dick to drain it completely. I found initially with the pump to use two fingers on the bottom (cradle) and the thumb on top. I also reached around with the left index finger (under the balls) to help squeeze. Try to squeeze the lower part of the bulb. You should hear the pop of the valve.
Keep Trying

Re: Ams - what is the pop?
Yes, the more you use it the easier it is to get the pop, the softer the bulb is to squeeze when you aren't near max, and with LGX devices the more likely it has stretched some.
I have the pleasure of starting over with a new CX now and learn how it becomes easier to use with use.
Good luck with the pump!

Yep, that's the key. Patience -- don't you hate when somebody tells you that?
