Yip tried that too, oh well, that part is really not a big worry. just the part of it not turning on sometimes, or it jams and then wont come back on for a while


you could all ways try tipping it upside down when turning it on if its got paint in it to see if thats helps?

your not over filling it are you? needs space to turn to get balls into feed neck.

the best thing you can do is strip it down and clean everything out, the Eyes are in the feed neck, wrapped in tape normally.. try taking them out and making sure theres nothing in the holes and wipe the eyes off.

make sure all the connections are sound and when you put it back together that no wires are trapped. (been sed b4 i know)

make sure the batteries are ok and you are using the standard 6 AA pack arent you??

it may even be you have a "dry solder joint some where on the board (does it turn on if you tap it??)

Thanks Zipatronic, it seems to be working now, just took it and apart and it was happy to go back on, so maybe a pinch wire or dirt that came out with the movement. but to add insult to injuring after coming off the training field to get this sorted and this week i get back on ready to fight and my gun goes flat >_< D'oh lucky never leave home with out some good fresh batteries :D

sounds like you got a short some where thats draining the batts or something is putting way to much load on the motor and thats whats eating the batteries. has it got rip drive does it turn free? may be a idea to strip clean and check everything is in good order.

i've stripped the halo more times in the last month than my misses:eek: .
i'll try again, it only happens in cold weather. stranger than a lion dating a zebra.

hopefully this problem will go away over x mas(pulse was on the christmas list)

if it does it in cold weather could be a board problem, in the cold things shrink so a component on the board mite not be making proper contact but when it warms up say in the house it goes back to normal.

just a thought may be a idea to checjk out the board for bad contacts, poor soldering.
