Did I get hosed?

[smrtprts]

Fixed

[RangerJoe]

kinda obvious with that pic..lol
i would bet that has something to do with the gun turning on...
that picture makes me sick..an angel thats hurting lol
you hsould call the guy up and flame his ass, asking wtf happned

[Viper-Mayhem]

Go to any of the MT's sites, they should have a switch with the wires correctly placed. Hope you got a really good deal, and that is the only thing wrong with it.

[smrtprts]

So there is definitely something wrong then?

Edit - Well, its looking like some stuff is wrong with it.

[HalsuH]

nothin a little solder and some spair wire couldn't fix though, it doesn't appear to have damaged the switch so just patch her up

[RangerJoe]

see if an mt the wire harnesses or send it in

[smrtprts]

Bah alright

[thatguy!]

So there is definitely something wrong then?

Edit - Well, its looking like some stuff is wrong with it.

There's exposed wire ends leading to the power switch, and you wonder why it wont turn on. Hrm....

Bust out the soldering iron; I have had to do it several times.

[smrtprts]

What did you solder?

[thatguy!]

Wires? To the switch?

:0

[NitroBall]

personally, i dont think its funny.
Im sure you are more than annoyed , and anyone else if you recieved a marker in that condition.

A bit of soldiering should do the trick, and see if you can get hold of some heat shrink.
With the Toggle switch pointing down in the off position , the red wire should be connected to the middle terminal.
The black wire connected to the top terminal.

Hopefully the battery and board are still working.

Good luck.

[smrtprts]

Yeah, I do not either. I was horrified when I got it.

So long story short heres what went wrong.

Was not told about
-missing grip screw
-wires are ALL stripped
-sent me a drop+asa combo instead of a uni which was planned
-back of grip is missing a protective piece that goes in the charger spot
-detent are blown
-wont turn on
-wont charge properly

I knew about
-needing new eyes
-small leak from gasket in noid
-needing new screw for back plate

Traded him my nerve.

When I got the gun and saw this I immediately called him 3 times on cell, 3 times on house, PM'd and emailed him. I finally got ahole of him 3 hours later and he told me he would call me back once he got home. Do I have reason to be upset?

[NitroBall]

-missing grip screwCheap enough to buy
-wires are ALL strippedIf its just the switch wires,then just a quick repair
-sent me a drop+asa combo instead of a uni which was planned Not a major problem, i never liked the unimounts
-back of grip is missing a protective piece that goes in the charger spot sounds like piece has broken off, cover can be replace
-detent are blown detents are easy to replace
-wont turn onobvious
-wont charge properlyobvious

I knew about
-needing new eyes eyes ribbon easily found at AOG sponsor stores
-small leak from gasket in noidreplacement gasket
-needing new screw for back platecheap enough

[smrtprts]

Yeah Nitro. I guess I just need a grip screw, eyes, detents, solder the wires back to place, plug the missing charger spot, lube and clean the gun then I should be good to go. Myabe trade micro drop for a rail.

This is going to sound dumb, but I cant get the breech back into place..

[for2nato]

i have both those screws for you. $2 ill ship them out tomarrow. make sure the hammer is all the way back then try. your ram also might need to be adjusted

paypal: dontgiveahoot@sbcglobal.net

[smrtprts]

I think I already have a seller, but do you have an extra screw that holds the trigger frame and body together?

Breech went in btw.

[smrtprts]

Anyone know how I could get a stripped screw out?

[for2nato]

i have the screw you need. $1
what screw is stripped?

[smrtprts]

It's the back screw that holds the trigger frame to body. I will PM you once my paypal gets verified so I can put $ into it.

[Shooters~SOBA]

dude how much did you buy this gun for? i have a feeling you got jewed so instead of putting more money into fixing it get a hold of the asshole that sold you this and beat him silly (in a non-sexual way) untill you get you money back. snoogens.

[smrtprts]

I traded it for me nerve.

[RangerJoe]

hrmm was it a stock nerve?
IMO i hate nerves so either way its a step up lol(only if the nerve was stock)

[smrtprts]

There were a few ups but nothing amazing. I feel like crap after this trade.. sigh.. I wish I could go back in time and not do it. Any ideas how I can find a local angel tech in my area so I could give him the gun locally to fix it?

[Shooters~SOBA]

I traded it for me nerve.
hmm interesting, was the nerve in working and good condition?

[smrtprts]

The only thing wrong was it had shootdown, just needed the HPR lubed. He also said that it was missing a screw in the LPR cap and the grips were falling apart too.

[RangerJoe]

where u from smrtprts

[smrtprts]

Im in So cal.

[RangerJoe]

BoB is in california but i forget where.
go onto www.fixmyangel.com and pm him with your stuff and you could send it to him.

[smrtprts]

OK I will do that. Thanks a lot for the fast responses, I am kind of in a pinic mode. Ill be back with more questions.

[RangerJoe]

dont worry everyone gets a lil panic when something happnes.

[Shooters~SOBA]

The only thing wrong was it had shootdown, just needed the HPR lubed. He also said that it was missing a screw in the LPR cap and the grips were falling apart (not true, I have pics to prove it) I told him he should pay for the repair problems that he didnt tell me about but he wont. in this case you should deal with what happened, send your gun into an MT and have him fix it up.

[RangerJoe]

we just got thru that he sending it to bob...:sure:

[smrtprts]

Could you give me a quick rundown on the total cost for installation, parts etc?

grip screw, backplate screw, new detents, new eyes, cleaning and lube of all gun and iinstallation, trigger frame screw and getting thr 2nd veneir wheel to move.

[Shooters~SOBA]

we just got thru that he sending it to bob...:sure: apparently so... but i've been talking to him about his situation for quite a while and i thought he may want a second oppinion.

only the person you send it to can give you the exact cost but trust me it will be worth it

[RangerJoe]

so dont bother to make another post saying he should send it to a mt.....

and smrtprts on bobs site has about some of the services he does with prices

[Shooters~SOBA]

ill post w/e i want, but dont have a crack attack for christs sake it was a post, did you forget your midol this morning?

[RangerJoe]

you are of no help on this forum.....
im not gunna continue to argue with you.

[Shooters~SOBA]

but see arguing with me is of absolutly no help to this forum so you are condridicting yourself... so just let it go.

[smrtprts]

hehe, I come back to a nice arguement. Ranger, which websight is bobs? And yes shooters, I appreciate your help and which of the 2 websights do you recommend over the other? I was thinking fixmyangel was better?

[Shooters~SOBA]

neither are really better both sites wil do great work preformance is owned by Ken so if you want bob to fix it think you might want fixmyangel as you said

[smrtprts]

OK cool, do you know where ken is located?

[Shooters~SOBA]

his site is still on the fritz i believe i dont want to give out his phone # on the site so just try fixmyangel.com im thinkin sooner or later one of them is bound to bumb into this thread and give you some more helpful advice.

[smrtprts]

Awesome, thanks a lot.

[Shooters~SOBA]

not a problem, good luck with everything.

[thatguy!]

Performance angel (ken) and Impact (Jim?) are on the east coast. Bob is on the west coast.

[RangerJoe]

plus bob is in cali ...so it will be faster..ken is in massachusettes(sp)

[smrtprts]

Yeah, I PM'd Bob and emailed ken. Thanks all!

Quick question. I have looked at the maunal for the board and its confusing the hell out of me. Waayy too many things to change, but I fell stupid asking this but how can I change the gun to make the noid click?

[Shooters~SOBA]

if the gun wont turn on your noid wont click

[smrtprts]

No, it turns on. I got my dad to fix all of the wires. Electrician FTW.

[Shooters~SOBA]

well thats good, you probably need to turn vision off or change modes.

[smrtprts]

Well theres no eyes yet and the LED is blinking red (eyes off i believe) so I guess I need to change modes. Can you expalin it quickly?

[Shooters~SOBA]

well the fact that you have no eyes is part of the reason why the solonoid wont click. Take off your grip panel there should be a blue and yellow button, if the gun is on live then hold the top membrane butten on the back of the gun untill the led blinks green (this should be in the manual btw) press the yellow button to get the the advanced menu and the blue button to scroll untill it says mode 1 , mode 2... another possobility is that it needs to be charged

[smrtprts]

When I get to the menu, it stops at mode then when I press blue it resest, also when I press yellow it resets?

Also what is the kind of buzzing sound the board makes when the backlight is on?

[for2nato]

the buzzing happens on alot of boards. its not a big deal, just caused by the lighting technology they use. quick way to test the noid is to hold down the trigger down for 2 sec. this will ensure that the eyes are off. if your having this many problems though you should just send the marker to bob and have him service it for you. it will come back to you in tip top shape ready to mow faces.

[smrtprts]

Yeah, I am in the middle of confirming stuff with him, then I will ship it out :) (assuming it wont cost tons of $)

[smrtprts]

2 more questions:

1. The buttons on the back of grip, the nobs that click the switch are very off. The top one of fine, but the bottom 2 are barely hitting the bottom of the switch. Can I adjust it or is it normal?

http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/4241/picture001es6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

2. Does this mean the board is warrantied?

http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/1166/picture002uf1.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[thatguy!]

From what I can remember, solid red means eyes off. Hold the trigger down for a couple seconds and it should vibrate or cycle once (proably vibrate.)

Why are the two bottom buttons a different size than the top one?

Arguable. I don't see why you'd ever have a problem with the board itself though.

[smrtprts]

Thats what I am trying to find out, it is weird to me because they dont even work well. I dont think I would have a problem with the board, just nice to know that it has a warranty if needed. As for the noid clicking, i have tryed everything to get it to click. Ill wait till I send it to Bob from FMA if I do, he should be able to fix it.
