Alpha Black E-Grip Problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I went to change my battery after 2 hours of play.  The green light was on but would not cycle through the 4 modes.  I also could not get the marker to fire.   There are no loose wires as the green LED comes on so I am assuming it's the board.  

I tried it this morning and it will give me one shot before it shuts down.  Any thoughts?  

I think this is going back to Tippmann!

	I would send it back. Give them a call first and let them know whats up. Just 2 weeks ago or so, I was changing the battery on my Alpha Black and the connector on the harness of the board broke off on the battery. I called them up and let them know what happened and they said that if I felt comfortable changing the board myself that they would send one out for me. They sent one out right away, free of charge, I got it in like 3 days. Unfortunately, I changed it out ok, but the sear spring would not go back correctly and when I put it all back together and cock it back the sear wont hold tha hammer back very long before the sear gives and the spring flies out of its place in the marker. I'll be sending it back to Tippmann. I would definitely give them a call, they have great customer service.

	Thanks, I'll give them a shout. All in all I loved the performance I got out of the marker (outside of missing 2 games dues to e grip malfunction!)... It put down a lot of paint when I needed to cover my teams advances. The accuracy was not as good as I desired...I think I'll be looking into a barrel when the time is right.
