My A1's eye logic is screw or the solenoid isn't activating all the time.

My OLED screen says theres a ball in the breech so I fire but nothing happens. I have to shake my gun and then it will start to shoot sometimes. I've listened to the solenoid and sometimes the "clicking" is very faint and other times its loud and normal.

Is there something wrong with my eyes being misaligned or something wrong with my solenoid? Has anyone had issues with their solenoid?

I do i fix misaligned eyes?

Have you ever pulled them out to clean them?
If not it think it's about time maybe there is a bit of old paint on them.
Remove your eye straps and pull the detents and eyes all the way out, and get in there with a cotton bud and give the hole area a good clean.
Replace the detents and eyes making sure they sit back flush and replace the eye straps.
Turn gun on with out air and check buy placing your finger in the feed tube several times, if it still doesn't work correctly you may need a new transmiter or receiver eyes.
Hope this helps

Its the solenoid. My teammate just got his A1 and it did the exact same thing. Try this, remove the solenoid. There are two small clips that hold the 2 parts of the solenoid together. On the small part, you'll see a small, yellowish round thing. Take that off and put some grease on the oring behind it. Put everything back together and it should be good. If it still acts the same way, contact the warranty center.
