UPDATE: for all who are concerned I was able to repair my board. There was a faulty power MOSFET on the back of the board. I ordered a $0.33 part from Mouser electronics online and soldered the part myself. Highly recommend mouser for electrical parts. They didn't even charge me shipping.

I have emailed Planet Eclipse about this and am currently waiting to hear back from them. But wondering if anyone ever had this problem. I pulled my karni's grip off to put it in training mode. after doing so it cycled three or four times. i put my grip back on then it cycled twice and then nothing. no solenoid function. the board shows rate of fire and that the marker is firing but nothing. i put it back on semi and ramping and i get no sear action or solenoid action. Thinking i pinched wires? to took the grips back off, no pinched wires nothing stripped or grounded. i have unplugged and replugged it in several times. also when i turn the gun and and turn it off. i have to wait about a minute or two before it will let me turn it back on again. if i pull the battery out and reinstall it i can turn it back on immediately. confused and not sure what to think. i'm assuming something happened with the board. not sure what though. i took it out and looked it over nothing burnt or looks bad i know thats not always the case with circuitry. anyways any ideas im all ears. thanks.

Try another battery first. Brand new, name brand battery.

eclipse will no longer give help with cockers. your grips might be preventing the noid from moving freely or your compacitor may be going bad.

[dbkid0486]

this was happening with the grips on or off?

[angel_freak_311]

Both. Came around after putting grip on. Took grip off, put into training mode. Fired three times, put grip back on fired about 5 or 6 times then it stopped.

[angel_freak_311]

anyone know if there is a factory reset on this board? or what the output voltages should be on the sear and the threeway solenoid for testing? I'm still thinking its the board. Anyone have an e2 frame that has trusted feedback that would want to test the board on their gun?

I would check to make sure you didn't pinch your front solenoid wires between the body and the trigger frame. That little cutout can get small quick.

There is a factory reset, if you take off the right grip frame, push the red button and go to the "FACT" selection screen, choose "FAST."

I'd also check your sear lug adjustment, I doubt it's out of place, but you adjust it by decocking the marker and using a 1/8th inch allen key, loosen the lug through the little hole in the top of the body behind the feedneck until the lug doesn't catch the sear when you manually cock the marker.

Lower it 1/4 turn until it does catch, and then add another 3/4 to a full turn. You want it to catch reliably, but drop easily.

[angel_freak_311]

It's not the timing on the hammer that's out. The sear solenoid doesn't energize an neither does the three way. I did check the wire and it's not pinched. This is something board related I believe because when I set it to training the first couple shot fired the marker and then started cycling just the three way like it should.

[hmcl281]

this is how i test to make sure the sear noid and cocking noid slot are working. i usually take out the sear noid from the frame and place it in my hand. plug it to the board and pull the trigger. if the noid moves the slot is working. i do it to both the cocking slot and sear noid slot, but with the cocking slot the board will go in and out but still activate the noid. i usually do it with a good working noid. this way it will eliminate that the spacing of the sear or the grip as causing the issue.

[angel_freak_311]

I do understand that but do remember it stopped working on training which has nothing to do with the sear solenoid. It was all working fine nothing adjusted or changed except going from ramping to training mode. Now nothing works in all modes.

if you want i can test it for you, Is this a E2 board or a zero B? or E1?

[angel_freak_311]

It's a e2 on a karni

Dude your from louisiana!! Lol im in lafayette where u at? Maybe if you close we can meet up. Also have u tried to unscrew the board from the frame. Maybe its grounding out.

[blame it on god]

Maybe try adjusting the trigger pull. I have seen people set them too close to register the shot.

[angel_freak_311]

I did remove it from the frame. Yes I did notice you are in louisiana and I'm near Houma. Only 1 1/2 hrs away. I will more than likely meet up with you. I will pm you for details. And it's not the trigger cause the board shows its firing by rate o fire but won't actuate anything.

[angel_freak_311]

well i have figured out whats going on. there is a burnt transistor on my board. i will try and see if i can find one and repair it myself. will keep an update if i resolve the problem or not.

[angel_freak_311]

Board repaired and it's up and running. $0.33 cent power MOSFET on the boar went out. Easy fix once I found what it was that was causing it.

Pictures of said fix?

How did you figure out what was burned\bad when there were no physical signs? I have several e2 boards.. one of them is behaving just like you described.. I've been troubleshooting it and tried narrowing it down a bit..but without schematics for the board it isn't all that easy

Hey RMI i saw it with my own eyes, one of the chips was "fried" so to speak, it was all brown and just looked bad. He got another one and now hes rolling, i met him locally and he pinpointed it was that.

[hmcl281]

yes pleas pic and link to order one, one of my board has a burnt back circuit also
