    Posted: 27 April 2008 at 12:06am

Im using an egrip for my a-5. It was working fine for almost the first 2 months since i purchased it. Now the egrip will malfunction after the first couple of shots.When you pull the trigger, it starts working at first. After you pull the trigger about 4 times, it stops working!!! The full auto and burst modes dont work at all.I replaced the battery, checked the pin to make sure it wasn't bad,checked the wires reset the trigger to default settings,etc. I think it might be a bad circuit board.

Any advice on what could be the problem?

Any obvious damage, like water or board components that are blackened/burnt?

Take your grip off your gun and try firing it by pushing directly on the microswitch. Some trigger don't work well with the switch.

Have you made any upgrades to your A5 since getting the e-grip?

If all else fails, and it is only 2 months old, send it in under warranty.

No water damage. i did press the microswithch manually. The trigger sounds fine when it isnt under pressure. I have heard rumors about using co2 will cause it to not work properly. However , im not sure if its true
