Z2 feed issue

[Pandamonium]

Hi

My z2 was working fine Saturday and on thursday I went to use it again for our university training session and it doesn't want to work anymore. From testing it, it turns on fine and thinks the feed stack is full it senses sound and tries to feed twice before trying to clear a jam. It also does this when you press the two buttons at the back. I think it's the eye sensor always sending a full signal. I registered it under warranty and emailed the solutions with my problem just wondering how long until I hear back.

Edit did the typical paintball thing and tried fresh battery's. No luck

Hold down the two buttons when it's off and turn it on. It should reset the board, hopefully you'll be sorted.

From what I remember the light should flash through all the colours. Might be worth giving kee a call. Im sure they'll be happy to help you out.

A lot of us use Z2s and found that the majority of issues could be solved with a few simple things. Firstly, fresh batteries (which you've already done), secondly clean the hopper right the way through, which I assume you've also already done, and finally, try cleaning the rubber band belt thingy that drives the hopper from the motor. If you get any paint, gunk, mess or anything on this, it can slip and if you have a fully loaded hopper, it simply won't drive the plate. It's pretty easy to clean, just take the shell off, turn on the hopper and lightly press a cloth/tissue against the band. Your problem sounds a little more complex than this, but it's always worth trying, at the very least to rule this out as a potential cause!

in that case I would try fresh batteries, and like another comment said, reset the board
