gotcha. Well I'll see if I can get a hold of them. I'm anxious to try out a hybrid mode

simon, my prophecy is jamming as soon as i turn it on. Not 1 ball will feed even if i spin rip drive. It has new batteries. The paint im using is crappy JT paint. But i also used a tournament grade but it jammed a little bit.

wdpballer11, First thing to check is all the plastics and point from the "jamming" post in this thread.

The first things to check are:-

1) Are you using sound, but haven't disabled the RF activation?

If so the loader may be getting stray signals from someone elses RF transmitter and appear to be jamming even when it isn't. This is commonly the answer when you can "clear" the jam simply by pushing the motor advanced button, and the jamming goes away completely after pushing the button three times... Check this post for how to fix it.

2) Are you batteries good? Use some replacement brand name batteries, and make sure they are new.

3) Is the loader jamming but you can't see where? Often it's because the body shells aren't together properly at the back vertical wall. Run your finger inside along the back wall to check the shells are fitting together like below. The shells should align flush as can be seen at the 'b' of both in the red wording on the image.

If they aren't and you can feel that one part of the body is sticking in, it's a simple fix. Remove the front of the body. Remove the back plate. Open the lid. Gently pull the shells apart at the rear and align them. Close the lid. Replace the back plate. Replace the front body.

4) Balls are jamming at the outlet. This is usually because the body shell on the right side is not correctly aligned with the outlet and anti-jam. It's either allowing the anti-jam to lift, of the anti-jam is pushed inside the body shell and actually stopping the balls from feeding.

It shouldn't look like this...

It should look like this...

5) Does it appear to be "jamming" simply because the clutch is slipping too easily?

This is usually caused by the drive extension (the piece with the magnets in it) not sitting down on the metal plate properly. This may be because it isn't aligned on the shaft properly. In which case it can be fixed by holding it with one hand while turning the rip drive wheel with the other until you hear and feel it "snap" down into place.

Another common cause of this is debris between the magnets and the metal plate. Take the extension off and make sure there is nothing attached to the magnets that would hold them away from the metal plate.

Another possible cause is that the 'E' clip above the metal place that keeps the drive system together isn't installed correctly in the groove and it is sitting out and stopping the drive extension from fitting down properly. Simply fix this by pushing the 'E' clip further onto the shaft. The 'E' clip should look to be concentric with the shaft, that is to say the shaft should look to be right in the middle of the circle formed by the outside of the 'E' clip.

is it normal for the shells to not fit tight around the feed neck? i hace about 1/16 inches of space between the two back halves. it is put together correctly as well.

millerkiller · 02-12-2010, 01:02 PM

Yes, it is normal. Once you put it on your gun and take it back off the shells will be pushed together snugly.

the clear is under all the way around. i think my shell is bent or sumthin

jhibby · 02-18-2010, 10:24 PM

Someone might have already asked this but can you buy extra anti jams? Im going to be playing a lot of reball and I want one for reball and one for tourneys.

Yes you can.

Brand new Prophecy, straight out of the box.

Ok so when the hopper is just by itself and I scream into it, the hopper feeds balls no problem. When I put it onto my ego, it will shoot like 4 or 5 balls (which I think are the balls already in the feedneck) but I noticed the bottom is NOT spinning. Then all of the sudden it will no longer feed. This happens everytime. There are brand new batteries in it and like I said the prophecy is brand new. I can spin the bottom or press the button on the left, but it does nothing. The led also blinks red everytime I shoot, is this just recognizing the sound?

I'm really new to these hoppers, what could be the problem?

gamesondemand · 02-19-2010, 08:51 PM

Lock it on sound mode. Check the wires connecting to the motor and make sure none are frayed.

Did both already! and I complete disassembled and reassembled everything to make sure nothing was on funky.

courter_man_08 · 02-19-2010, 09:05 PM

Well I would say turn up the sensitivity, BUT, you have an Ego. So I don't think it's that. Have you tried to use it on a different gun?

Yes, does the same on a different gun. I've changed speed settings, changed sensitivity and blue light is beeping once. I have no idea what is wrong?

and is that red blinking led everytime I shoot a malfunction or it just recognizing the sound?

gamesondemand · 02-19-2010, 09:27 PM

It's registering the sound, but it doesn't seem to be turning the motor. I've had this issue when I put my prophecy on my friend's ego, but it was because my motor wire was frayed.

pbmylife · 02-19-2010, 09:33 PM

make sure you put it together right. if it is not right, it will jam. look here

if it blinks blue you have it in the wrong mode.

Beaverlord · 02-20-2010, 12:59 AM

hi im brand new to the prophecy but i love what ive seen from it so i got one today conected it to my ego and when i had the eyes on my gun on it wouldnt feed but when i turned the eyes off if fed through and shot so do i need to do something to use the eyes?? do i need to shoot with the eyes off? the loader works fine just wondering how to make work with the eyes on or does that matte?

gamesondemand · 02-20-2010, 01:06 AM

The eyes on your gun or eyes on the prophecy? Cause unless you've got an LTD model there are no eyes on the prophecy. Are you using sound activated mode on the prophecy or rf link? Eyes on the gun shouldn't matter as far as feeding from the prophecy is concerned, there is no way to link the eyes from the gun to the prophecy.
