DMC trouble

[CAMPBELL]

hi

ive had my DMC for about 3 years now and havent had any problems with it untill this weekend when i gave it to my mate to have a few games with. who ironically did break the last gun i gave him aswell

it was working fine to start with, changed the battery that morning so all should have been fine, however after a few games i got it back and it sounded like there was no air going thru the gun. it makes a clicking noise for about 3 shots and then releases a full normal shot

any ideas ?

no silly answers please, yes the batts were new and yes the air was full and yes the eyes were turned off .....

thanks in advance

Was the only thing different between it working and not working that you changed the battery?

No, it was ok for the first half of the day with the new battery but in the afternoon it seems to have stopped working.

i took it apart last night, tried a new batt but still the same problem ....

suggestions welcome

check any pinched cables my first marker had this problem it was a loose connection on the board to the noid coupled with a low life battery. Look at the board check for grit dirt loose connections loose solder etc
