In what way did the trigger break? The trigger itself, or the trigger frmae, or what? Need more info on what is really broken and stuff like that becuase you may be able to fix it.

The switch broke?

That's an easy fix if you are comfortable taking the frame apart and taking the board and wires out.

Kingman may cover it in the warenty, email them and see if you want. Depends on when you bought the gun and what not.

If they don't, many people will sell you a drop in switch replacement for a few dollars, wires and everything included. You can buy the switch alone at any radioshack, but you'll need to (or have someone else) solder the wires onto the new switch. And then as even another option many people will install a new one for a price. Heck even I'll do it if you pay to send the thing out here.

All of these are cheaper than a new frame, which [if new] can cost up to $100-something. That's a lot of money to fix a broken switch that is $2.49 at Radioshack.

Once you tell if us the switch broke or if it was something else, we'll gladly help you get it fixed. The process is writen down in the '5gram switch mod' threead; it should be linked in the Spyder Super-sticky thread. If you read that and still have questions or get stuck post and we'll help you. Or IM me when I'm not busy/away (read: anytime except wednesdays) and I'll walk you through it.

You don't even need to take the board and wires out.

That's an easy fix though. There are 2 pins holding the switch in, tap those out and you can pull the switch out really easily. Take a soldering iron and heat up the solder on the flanges on the switch to diconnect the wires. Then, you can take the switch to a radio shack or something, show it to one of the people that work there, and they will show you other switches just like it. Then, just solder the the wires onto the correct flanges on the switch (should be 3, you use 2) and there you go.

I did this with my fenix, but not because the switch broke, but because I wanted to. I just went to radio shack, bought a switch for like 2 bucks, and slapped it on there and it works like a charm.

I could do this for you if you sent the trigger frame to me along with like 5 bucks to pay for the switch.

torch for you to do that how much would it cost? or i think i might be able to do this myself, if you could PM me a basic lay out of what to do that would be perfect

You won't have to take the board and wires out. Just take off the grips, and on the side of the trigger frame close to the trigger, there will be 2 pins. All you have to do is tap those out like you would with the trigger pin. Then, take out the microswitch, get a soldering iron (let it heat up) and put the tip of the iron right where the wires touch the metal flanges coming out of the microswitch.

Click here for a switch that will work. You can either take the catalog number to the store, or order it online.

When you get it, solder the wires onto the flanges on that switch. You will need some solder, and you have to be sure not to switch the wires around. On that switch, the button would be up at the top (lever pointing down) and if the colors of the wires in your gun are the same as they are in my fenix, the brown wire has to go to the middle flange, and the black wire will have to go to the top flange.

^^That's what it should look like.

Then, all you have to do is put that in the spot where the stock switch was and tap those pins back in to secure it in place. You might have to adjust the trigger.

$3.00 in parts and whatever the shipping costs. I'd include any reciepts to show the prices. But you, your dad, old brother, neighbor or anyone can do it for free.

Fenix is right though, you won't need to take the board out. I just do it because it seems to make it easier sometimes.

His instructions are right on as well.
You can compare them to this other PBF guide- KidPaintballs Electro 5 gram Micro Switch Mod Thread.

You just need a small punch or nail, a hammer, a soldering iron and a little solder, and a few minutes of time. You'll also need a new switch.

The only thing to pay close attention to is which side you hit the pins on. Do not his the side that has a * shape to it. Tap them out from the other side.

Ah...yea. When you hold the gun up, pointing at something in front of you, it's the right side.

I did mine based on the guide Torch posted. Only took 3 minutes to install and I haven't had any troubles with it since I did it (a year ago). One of my friends (who usually uses my fenix) really likes the trigger. I let him use it whenever we play because he is saving up for a gun.

If none of your relatives want to do the soldering for you, you could always take it to any hardware or electronics store and they could do it for you. They might do it for free...might not. Soldering is a very easy thing to do though, so I am sure somebody you know will be able to do it for you if you don't know how.

EDIT: Here is what mine looks like. I have the roller switch on mine. I had to modify the trigger frame a little bit for it to work though. The trigger wouldn't go far enough forward, so I had to grind a little material off of the trigger frame for it to work properly. You won't have to do any other modifications like that to your trigger frame if you just got the normal lever switch, like the one I posted before.
