You mentioned you got it off of your brother, can you ask him?
On my old Ricochet I had to hold the button for 2 seconds to turn it on.

Some of the Ricochets had a switch in the feed neck that was actuated by the balls falling through it. The impeller would only spin when this switch was activated.

The little flapper is the switch. If the green light is on but the impeller does not turn when the flapper is pressed and released then there is something wrong with the electronics. Two things to check:

When you say it agitates once, do you mean when you first put in the battery? Ricochets do that. It won't agitate again until a paintball goes through the feedneck. The switch is the most common part to break on Ricochets and it is replaceable. -------------
