The extra holes are the vents for the spool. Dont plug them.
Its just odd that it has no reset/manual cycle button.
If I were teching it, I would pull the whole thing apart and test every piece. The only time I have seen a solenoid go bad was if it was crushed by the set screws in the front block or the plug was bad..

[Metability]

Yeah I have no clue about all of that. Haxorware is going to be sending me the data cable and the battery probably on monday so it may be a few days before I see it. Do you have a spare wire for the solenoid that isn't soldered like mine? Do you think it could be a bad solenoid?

[Darkapollo]

I will dig around, but I probably do.
Hard to say. All a solenoid is, is a coil of wires with a plunger.
Not much to 'go wrong' there..
Ive never taken the 'throw parts at it till it works' approach, but if you have another solenoid to test I would do that. Or measure the voltage at the wire during a fire cycle...

[Metability]

Maybe working on my cars so much has given me that mindset. haha.
I will have to check the voltage tomorrow as I am not around my tools now. The solenoid is only $20 and I don;t know how many ANS has left. When I bought the button pad, about a week later they said they are permanently out of stock, so I do not want to miss out!

[Metability]

Well... I just looked it over and there is an orange button below the wire harness. I didn't have enough light to see it. When I push it, the solenoid cycles, and I turned the LPR a bit, and the gun seems to fire with this.

[Darkapollo]

Ok, so that tells me the solenoid is getting enough air.
Aside from trying a new solenoid or wire, not much more I can think of.

[Metability]

Do you think the board is okay? Maybe it is something in the wiring.

[Darkapollo]

Right now Im going to say the board is ok.
It could be the wiring, yes. I have had a few where the plug was too lose or broken and it caused intermitent solenoid opperation.

[Metability]

Alright so the o-ring from my regulator to the tank gave out unexpectedly and I have more on the way right now. I got a new battery from Haxorware, but it didn't work properly and he is sending me a new one as well. Did you ever find out if you have a spare solenoid wire? It is almost getting to the point where I might just send you the marker.

[Darkapollo]

Yes I have one extra noid wire.
Im running out of things to have you try. It might just be easier to send it in..

[Metability]

What kind of pricing would we be talking about? I realize that it would vary, but if there were some ballpark numbers I could make my decision. Thanks.

[Darkapollo]

Its $50 + parts + shipping. That includes a flash to 4.0.0 FW and timing/tuning.

[Metability]

I think I might go ahead and do this. Just so you can run through it and make sure everything is 100%. I will have to wait until I get the next battery though. You won't need the barrel or charger or anything right? I will find a good sized box to ship it in the next few days.

[Darkapollo]

Ive got a barrel specifically for the reball I use and Ive got a charger and data cable yes. The ONLY thing I would need is the gun itself.
Ive got a game coming up on saturday so if you get it to me by then (ive got 'works well enough' batteries for tuning) I can really put it through its paces. It is blind (no eyes) correct?

[Metability]

Yeah the marker is blind. I have the one battery, and I have no clue how it performs really. Haxorware was wanting me to make sure the second battery is good so I can send back the first one. I wonder if it would even make it there by then, if I were to ship it tomorrow.

[Darkapollo]

Priority mail is fairly inexpensive for 3 day delivery.

[Metability]

I'll see what I can do for tomorrow. Want to shoot me and address in PM? Would it be a business or residential? I can ship it from my work and it should cost less, even moreso if it is the same on your end. Thanks
