Halo problems

[Echowitch]

I have a standard Halo encapsulated in a suicide shell.

At my last tournament it seemed to keep chopping balls, (including one in the hopper itself which was a right arse to clean out.) I thought it might have been my Ego doing it but after switching to another hopper, and single feeding it yesterday I ruled out my Ego.

Yesterday the Halo was completely dead. I swapped the batteries and it took for ever to come on. I Had a red flashing light constantly on at one point. Later on I couldn't get it to turn off. (I finally did so after about 2 minutes.)

1. Any idea of the problem ?
2. Is it fixable ?
3. Should I just replace the internals ?
4. Should I use this as an excuse to place my order for an NXe Jrny, Pinokio, or something else ?

tried stripping it out completly and cleaning the eyes ??
New batterys and lowering the speed settings on it ???

If you was using brittle paint ( it is colder now ) theres a slim chance the loader was putting too much force on the stack and cruching the paint, slim but you never know. .

Id strip it down and really keys the eye first off

Hope that helps

Thanks all, its been pointed out to me that the problems Im having are indicative of a board failure. In fact it won't turn on at all now. I'll be having a look at getting a replacement board for the short term with the possibility of using it as an excuse to get a new hopper

well that is the excuse i use if i chop balls

oooo i say thats an excuse for both yet new gun and hopper

Well my hopper is still doing it. I've swapped the board and Im still getting paint breaking, and its very annoying shooting soup.

Any other idea's ? Shooting at slow speeds seems to be ok, but ramping with this hopper only (regardless of the marker attached, and yesterday I was shooting an 06 and an 08 Ego,) gives me Cream of Draxxus soup.

sounds like too much tension to me mate, drop the bottom of the blue catch cup and put a little grease on the rubber band
