Halo b - what is wrong?

[Dave Elliott]

Can anyone help?

Ive sold halo b's with rip drive to several site customers. We are all having problems with green and red lights flashing even when new batteries are inserted.
Only cure is to turn it off and on again.

Anyone know what is causing this?

Could be a problem with the board, are you leaving batteries attached as I found mine drained if left attached

green and red lights flash when the eyes are dead might be worth checking

Agree with the battery thing. Must disconnect when not in use.

Make sure they are good quality ones too. Not the ones you get like 6 for £1.00 in the Pound Stretcher shop.


I've just invested in a Bone Pack. Rechargable. Lighter than 6 AA's. Higher performance too. Came in at just under £50.00 with the voltage converter that I had to buy here.

I have a Neophean B pack too but I think they're har to get hold of nowadays. Worked a treat since I've had it. About 18 months now. Never have to worry about buying AA's since. Must haved saved the money I spent on it twice over by now.

this will be batteries.

Need to be alkaline batteries.

I made the mistake of buying some crap panasonic batteries and the battery light started flashing the first time the hopper was switched on.

check the connectors on the board I seem to remember tha tif they are the wrong way round it causes this issue ,maybe a manufacturing fault (unlikely I know but worth a look )

You can get special batteries made for digital cameras, sounds odd but they are real powerful and last ages in my Halo!

 

[RainbowShooter]

get procells or battery packs.

 

[Dave Elliott]

Thanks everyone for your input.

We are only using quality batteries - duracells.

This happens within ten minutes of the batteries being replaced. The hoppers are all brand new pretty much. None used more than 5 times. Batteries are being replaced every time.

Out of 5 hoppers 4 are doing it and yet they were all cool the first time they were used. Can it be an eye problem?

Had the same problem back in january.
I think it was more to do with the cold weather.
Think it's something to do with the eyes not liking the cold,
my reloader worked no problem but both halos were
having the same problem.

Never really sorted anything out, they both worked fine and with the
same batteries when I got home.
