my noid is being stupid, it just stopped working for some reason, all connections are correct, idk whats wrong with it. and I know for a fact that I didn't blow it up. so what else could be wrong with it that would keep it from cycling?

so, your board is charged, and youre SURE it's sending a signal to the noid?
it almost has to be that the board isn't sending the signal, or the connection is broken somewhere...unless you really beat the gun up it's hard to fry a selenoid...does the screen light up when you pull the trigger in safe mode? if not then just ajust your trigger.

With the gun on and in live, remove the sight rail, and push the orange button on the noid. If it fires, it's not the noid. Double check your connections and battery like Mamba said, and try this with the gun aired up.

just so yo uunderstand what's happening (and this bit of troubleshooting is even in the manual) the orange button is an override for the solenoid. This will allow the solenoid to cycle no matter what. This will help you to determine if there is a problem between the trigger to the solenoid (perhaps trigger isn't resetting, pinched wires, pulled wires etc)

Almost sounds as if you might have pinched a wire somewhere or your TOE adjustment slipped. Try the steps above and if that doesn't work let us know.

no wires are pinched, that was the first thing I checked, I hooked my board up to my buddy's LCD and it worked fine on there, one of my sight rail screwsis stripped out pretty bad, but I'll try the Test button on the noid,
Come to think of it, this has happened before a LONG time ago when I first got it, I went to a private school, and I got permission to bring the gun to school to shoot it for a physics test. When I aired it up the noid was leaking and when I pulled the trigger nothing happened, I thought I blew it up then, but I all I had to do was re-seat the soleonoid.
thanks for the quick response guys, I'll see what I can do, If I still have problems I'll come back and tell you.

man, I just ran into this problem and have to take the damn crimps out, so damn annoying and frustrating. Two needles and and lots of pokes on my hands. Yeah, you can replace your broken wires, it's not easy by anymeans and takes about 1/2 hour to remove one crimp and another 1/2 hr to solder it.
I was being stupid again and letting my board hang from my harnesses after awhile the crimp right on the housing was connected but i could see the wires broke. Man am I stupid, can't even listen to my damn own advie i give to other people. Why couldn't they use 2 mm harness like everyone else??
At least I got the 3 shot pull completed.
