I have a used 2x mark I teleconvertor that when put on my 70-200L 2.8 lens the focusing slows to almost not moving at 400mm, but when put at 140mm the focusing goes back to normal. What is going on? Please help.

thanks

I'll hazard a first guess: Dirty contacts.

I have cleaned the contacts using a pencil eraser and no luck

I also noticed the AF motor making a faint humming noise while the convertor is attached.

any other options before I ask this guy for a refund?
