A1 will "NOT" turn on

[Farmboy]

So i get my angel back from badlands. They put 2.2 on my board because mine was a dud and i couldnt write the soft ware. i turned it on right when i got it back and everything was good But i never used it for a month or so or more. And literally 5 minutes ago i decided to turn it on and click the noid. and 1/3 of the pixels are lit up in random positions lots blue and a few yellow then it blinks off then more random. and im like wtf

And now it wont turn on.

could it be the board? or what?

I never thought of that, I'll try that right now.

Well... Now, i feel like an idiot... I put the new battery in and presto! it works perfectly fine... And Badlands had a Spyder Rechargeable Battery in there. So looks like i got one of those now. Thanks so much Shibbykins!

I would stick with a battery that is not rechargeable. When they die it is usually without warning. Standard Duracell or other battery's of the same type will give you a game or so before they drop off completely. The newer lithium 9V are superior to all other types. I would also suggest if your not using the gun for long periods of time to remove the battery. Nothing worse than a leaking one or it just dies sitting there!

Sorry about that.
Energizer 9V are all that I use in both the A1 and my Velocity.
Rechargables simply don't last in our game.
Two points if I may.
1. Frazer at WDP told me personaly that flashing the A1's memory will kill the battery.
2. He also told me that the 2.2 software makes the A1 go into a sleep mode and is always drawing on the battery.....so pull the battery if the gun is not in use for sometime.

Keep your eyes' open and your head down.
