I just sold my spyder electra dx to my nieghbors, brother for his kid, but he havn't givin it to him yet. I played one last game today and it died, i thought it was the battery, but i went to put a new one in and it doesn't even click, the lcd screen comes on but when i pull the trigger nothing happens, it will click about 1 out of 30 pulls. PLEASE i need to know whats wrong so i would apreciate any input.

Are you using a regular 9 volt battery? Because a 9.6 battery is the best one to have for it. Charge it and try it again.

**WgpBlackMagic** · July 25th, 11:02 PM

yes i am, i lost the charger so im using a 9vlt, it has been working fine for me sinces last october when i lost it. Why would it poop out now?

**Badinflewinse** · July 25th, 11:04 PM

No idea why it would happen now. What upgrades have you put on it?

**WgpBlackMagic** · July 25th, 11:08 PM

nothing that has to do w/ the electonics, a barrel and an aluminum feedneck. Could it be the selonoid?

most probally my friend had the same problem on his tes, send it to kingman.
well call them or talk to a proshop first.

Sounds like the sam thing that happended to me. Take off your grip and check to see if there's two wires still connected to the black battery looking thing.

Like Yamaha said it sounds like a loose connection. Inside the grip make sure all of the connector clips are connected to the board tightly. It's possible one of them rattled loose. Just remove them and reattach to make sure they are snug. Since the LEDs light up ok I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is the trigger switch or it's connection to the board. Do you have a multimeter? If so set it to "continuity checker" and stick the probes into the wire connector for the trigger. The multimeter should indicate something or sound a beep if the trigger switch is still good while being pressed.

**WgpBlackMagic** · July 26th, 05:37 PM

the lcd screen still turns on though..so i don't think it would be the battery connecter thing.

**<YamahaRaptor>** · July 26th, 06:08 PM

No check to see if theres two wires still connected to the black cylinder thing(don;t know the name)

**Javaman** · July 26th, 06:29 PM

There are different connectors going to different things.... One going to the battery, one going to the large capacitor and one going to the trigger. They each plug into the board If I remember this right. It's been a while since I had to fool around in my grip.

**KingFikiElectra** · July 26th, 06:41 PM

This can happen from a huge huge variety of things. Rather then just trying to narrow it down since it could be a vast amount of things. Just send it to kingman to look at. If u know anything about electronics u can open it up. Mostlikely iys because a wire is very loose or something similar to that. If i would like I can fix it. I have done it with a few people http://www.paintballforum.com/forum/...167#post883167. But as long as ur warentee hasnt expired Kingman will do it for free. But if it has expired they may charge u a little bit. Like I said I can do it if u would like. If no other solution can be done.

**Javaman** · July 26th, 07:01 PM

I would at least check the connectors before sending it in to possibly save the hassle, money, and time required to send it in.

**WgpBlackMagic** · July 27th, 03:14 PM

well, i found that a wire from that black thing above teh bored came off, so i just have to have my dad fix that, thnx for all ur help

**Javaman** · July 27th, 03:49 PM

That would be the capacitor. It stores a large amount of juice in order to strongly kick the solenoid. Congrats on finding the problem!
