Question about Evo II

[Buddha 3]

Okay kids, time to help out your beloved moderator.

I bought an Evo II loader, stuck in some batteries, and slapped it on my marker.
However, when I switch it on, the paddle turns about 2 milimeters, the light flashes three times, and it switches off again...
What's wrong with it? Could it be because I haven't had a chance to get fresh batteries (I stuck in the batteries from my Revvy)? Or do I have a dodgy one? Cheers guys.

i had the same thing happen to me, try putting some new one's in and make sure there top quality one's i bought cheap one's and thay didn't even work.

Well, my one was ultra picky with the batteres it used, only fresh M3's were enough to keep the bad boy happy. Those that didn't trigger the low battery light in a rev were still not always good enough.

Yours is turning itself off so would be suprised if its battery related.....or it's just personal, you didn't drop it did you? call it bad names?

The namecalling only started after it didn't work. Before it was all "hey you sexy thing" and all that.

I'll try some new batteries, if that doesn't work, I'll take it apart, go "hmmm", put it back together again (you'll be surprised how often this actually works), and if it still won't work, I'll test my new Leopard battle tank on it. Or I'll exchange it for one that works.

Slapped in some new batteries, and now she's spinning like a spinny thing that's supposed to spin really fast.

did going mmmmm work,

i find that if the mmm dont work, proding things and saying what the ****s going on here then oftern does the trick.....

if summut breaks at work tho i usually use my chefs tool kit to sort it out....first hit it and swear at it then prod it with a steak knife and if that dont work break out the rolling pin....then call in the repair guy
