I bought an Icon LED last summer and have yet to use it due to mechanical problems. When I pull back the bolt and try to fire the gun does nothing. When I 'assist' the electrical actuator in the handle (which pushes on the trigger mechanism) the gun sometimes fires. If I just pull the trigger normally, the actuator clicks to a very small degree, but not enough to fire. I am using a 9-volt battery instead of the 9.6 with which the gun came because it's dead. Is the 9-volt not powerful enough, or is there another problem?
Thanks

This can be a few problems:
1. Low voltage, try and get a freash name brand 9v
2. If that doesn't work, try and get a 9.6v (I have one for sale in my sig )
3. And if that doesn't work, try shimming your noid with a nickle
4. And if that doesn't work, you need a new capacitor

I looked at the battery/charger on your sig, the one my gun uses is shaped like a 9-volt

Also, what to you mean when you say 'try shimming your noid with a nickle'?
Since you seem to know what you are talking about, which capacitor would need replacing?

thanks for the help

The battery is placed outside the grip, preferably in a tank cover (tube socks work well >.<)

Put a nickle behind your noid, so it's farther forward than it would origionaly be.

Put the nickle right behind the flat side of your noid

And the capacitor is the BIG thing sticking out of your board, can't miss it

I tried the nickel trick, and it seems to be working
