Problem with my Hopper

[ravenation18]

Hi guys

I have a problem with my VL revolution hopper. I was using it on Saturday and all of a sudden it died so changed the batteries for new ones and then nothing not even a sniff of movement from the moment. Is there anything I can do or is it best to just go out and get a new one.

Its odd that it just died like that
check if the wires have been squozen or if a connection has come loose on the board.

don't just go out & buy a whole new one, whatever's happened you can replace the one broken part eg board or motor, or resolder a connection etc

if you can take it apart totally to check all connections, wires etc then do it, if you can't/dont want to take it to a pb shop & they'll prob be able to sort you out.

Could be numberous things, board fried... motor fried... connectors pushed too far up

Id try and get some new internals personally there cheap enough off Classifeds

It could be as simple as you got a chop and the eyes are blocked (which means it'll do squat).

Try taking it apart and cleaning them properly, meths or something.
