O3 speed problems.

[Tanktaylor]

I have a 03 speed. i just got it from pbnation.com
its in great condition but im having problems charging it. I charged it the 4 hours like the manual says. but when i go to turn in on and shoot it it wont let me. the screen lights up the battery dot blinks and it shuts off. now im pretty sure it was charging cause the lights started cascading up and down. and help would be great im going crazy over here

appears to be a bad battery to me...that happend to me when i bought mine used and a new battery fixed it. Are you using the correct charger? hmm something else came to my head....is the trigger set back too far that its past the activator?

[Tanktaylor]

thanks how could i go about getting a new battery. and the trigger is extremly tite is that what u meen? thanks man cant wait for a reply

[welted]

you had the gun switched on when you were charging, right? cuz i needs to be to charge properly. Did you charge it all the way to completion, so you get the single red led blinking slowly? that's how you konw that it's charged all the way; the four hours is just an estimate. And as cheezit was saying make sure that your trigger toe screw isn't too far in, or the gun won't fire, though the single green led will blink after it boots when you turn it on. that wouldn't explain the shutting off though...

a single green lights stays on when i turn it on what do i do after that. cause shouldnt pulling the trigger make the lights go up and down?

whenever u charge it the gun has to be on, if it only cascades once or twice ur gonna have to turn on the car to use battery power, and yes whenever a single green light is on you are ready to fire

[welted]

if the trigger is adjusted too far in (ie, always in the "fired" position) and you turn on your marker, it'll go through the regular boot sequence to the blinking green led, but won't fire because the trigger isn't being returned to the "ready" position. back the toe screw out and see if that helps.

[Raffles]

Simple checks:

1) Single green flashing led when trigger pulled - trigger not activating the opto switch - adjust toe screw in
2) Three green flashing leds when trigger not pulled - trigger activating opto switch to early - adjust toe screw out
3) On power-up, battery light flickers then gun shuts down (even after a full charge with gun switched ON) - battery fried - replace with a NEW battery

Hope that helps

thanks ill check into all that sound like one of thos should fix my problem .

[Tanktaylor]

how do i set the trigger back like u said im getting a single blinking green light
it shows the battery is fulling charged and then it goes to single blinking green light. i fell im close to solving this damn thing now what do i do.

[CheezIt]

im not sure if this voids your warranty but you should check first. Just unscrew the grip cover and unscrew the board inside. be careful not to unplug any wires. Take out the board and turn the marker on. Try firing it by pressing in the metal leaf spring. If if starts to fire normally then its a trigger adjustment you need to adjust...if still nothing happens then its a battery problem or something else...make sure the three wires are plugged in tight.

[welted]

that wouldn't void the warranty, and would be a good check to make sure your board is working

[Tanktaylor]

we already tried all the trigger adjustments and it didnt help so does that meen its my battery

[CheezIt]

its most likely your battery but could be your board too :( i don't know..perhaps you should send it to ken krane so he can fix it for you so you don't end up buying a new battery and it doesn't fix your problem.
