Hello all, first post so please be gentle. (And yes, I searched for this problem too, ;) )
I’ve got a Red Pilot ACS, purchased in March of this year. It’s served me well, and I’ve since upgraded markers twice, but it’s remained my trusty 3rd stringer, until now. The problem I’m having is that once powered on and switched into any mode but Semi, the trigger lightly clicks, the E-trigger will automatically go back to Semi mode, and the marker never fires.
The battery was fully charged for approximately 14 hours, as stated in the manual, and a brand new 9v battery was swapped in its place for troubleshooting, and the issue remains. I even tried the battery from my son’s Elektra, which works fine, to no avail. All connections to the board appear to be secure. Additionally, I’m quite the neat freak and ensure that all my equipment is meticulously cleaned/oiled as needed.
Now here is where it gets odd. My neighbor’s son purchased a Blue Pilot ACS a month ago from the same place I did, and his experienced the exact same issue right out of the box after charging up his battery!!
Thoughts/suggestions? Thanks in advance!
