There's definitely Topics posted about both problems that can help you. The problem about parts not unscrewing is a stickied topic so check the stIckies.

This is just a guess. But it's possible you snagged a wire in the threading when you screwed it together. I've done this before myself. I finnally fixed it by twisting as hard as I could till it finnally unscrewed.

All I can say is good luck.

Be very careful. Using a lot of force WILL damage the threads if there is something between them.

The MWS will not turn off if the voltage is too low.. I hope to get this changed out for a better setup soon.

You can make a 4 wire buckpuck modular, I did, the first puck I used was a 6 wire, and I had the "not turning off" issue with a non illuminated AV switch

Here's a diagram of what I did:

You don't have to replace the buckpuck, you can just snip off the wires leading to the switch from the puck, and wire the remaining 4 this way.
