Evo 2 Problems

[evilmoo]

Ok here is ma problem, my evo 2 has been working fine up until one day when it strangely stopped working, put in new batteries still nothing. Its pretty new only been used like 4 times but what happens is when i turn it on and off the light flashes as normal but the motor doesnt spin at all (like when its supposed too) now i am bollocks at electronics or whatnot, so i was hoping someone could point out what the problem could be and how i could go about fixing it preferably in stupid mans english.

THANK YOU

ok i was using proper decent Duracell batteries which cost a fortune but the motor thingy will spin if u push it by hand, and makes that spinning noise when u do. I cleaned out all the feedneck and all that so i dont think its muck, must be sommit to do with the board (dont wanna buy a new one due to lack of £££) any ideas mr pig?

This happened to me aswell, turned out the board was fried, have you taken it apart before it stopped working? and when you reassembled it did you pinch any wires ?

damn, nah i was always too scared to take it apart, all that electronic trickery didnt wanna mess with it
argh i hope the board isnt fried as i'm skint and need it for sunday :O

if the board is fried and you bought it new- take it back. you should be well within your rights to a replacement if it's a fault in the product.
