Battery's?

EDIT and see if the on/off button is touching the Grey button on the board.

Try puttin new battries in them. If that dosnt work ask Ydna or send them to him.

^^ You need to contact him first... And im not even sure if he could actually do them.. Really just go to your local field and ask.

Same thing to me, I tried all of the obvious things and a few not so obvious things, nothing worked, im now buying a new board .

I figured you would, most of the guys on these forums make useless posts telling you to do "no ****!" type things like change your battery.

^^ u are pretty much right

sending it to smart parts isn't exactly needed. If the power button is already pressing down on the button before you try and turn it on then it will not power up.

(1) Replace the battery.

(2) Verify that the power switch is functional. Separate the frame from the body and examine the surface of the board. The power switch at the top-right of the board needs to look EXACTLY like the programming switch in the bottom-right. Oftentimes the small, white, raised button will break off the switch and prevent the button from working. The cover of the switch can also fall off and prevent it from working.

If the switch is damaged, you'll need to get it repaired. Send it into SP, Ydna, or someone else qualified.

(3) Check the main capacitor for damage, often caused by grip panel screws. If damage is apparent, the capacitor or entire board would need to be replaced. This requires moderate/advanced soldering experience to do yourself.

(4) Plug the battery into the connector and push the power switch manually using your finger. If the red LED lights after approximately two seconds, then the problem is you're not pushing the external ION jewel hard enough to turn the gun on. Reassemble it and try again. If the red LED doesn't light, there is an electronics problem and the board will need to be repaired or replaced (send it into SP).
