Which board do you have?

Also, does the motor run for a bit and then stop or is it just flashing these colours from the start without the motor moving?

The flashing norally means its detecting a jam Dave, give a damn good clean and check the plug to make sure its making a good connection to the board. But sounds like you may need a new board mate

think its just a stock board but it works fine in another halo
motor doesn't run at all, just goes straight to the light show

bloody thing is in bits and every part has already had a good clean
will check the connection again

Maybe your motor has had it. Make sure you have the connections round the right way.

If they are defo round the right way, and the board works in another HALO, then it must be the motor.

Try swapping the eyes over in the HALO's too, just to put them out of the picture.


Wingy...
