Smart Parts Vibe problems :(

[JackT]

Just recently I have had the urge to get back into paintball after a one year break. So I put a fresh battery into my SP vibe and powered it on but when I pull the trigger it just shuts off immediately and there is no sound of the solenoid clicking. The vibe doesn't have eyes so its not that. The battery is brand new so it shouldn't be that.

Is the solenoid / board broken?

Any help would be much appreciated

Sounds like your battery is a dud mate. Happens now and then

Thanks mate, I'll try a new one when I can. I really hope it is only the battery

Yeah sounds like the solonoid os sapping the last of the battery power

Problem now fixed Turns out the battery harness cable doesn't like been folded a certain way in the grip frame. Not a great fix and I'm sure the problem could arise again but it works for now
