sear isnt tripping

[TheDarkShadow]

ok i have a spyder sonix with a camd electro frame and i havent used it in a while but i got it out the other day and charged it up cock it back and attempt to dry fire it but i get nothing but click click click. if i hold the bolt back put it in full auto then let the bolt go it will dry fire. anybody have any ideas?

how long did you charge it up for? Needs about 12 hours...

OR

the capacitor is bad. Take the board to radio shack and have them get you a new capacitor but have them mark the polarity for you [on the new one AND the old one] so you can desolder the old and resolder the new one in properly.

i charged it for about 8 hours i might charge it a bit longer and see if that fixes it

it's not the battery. i dont paintball enough to go get it fixed and i dont know much about soldering. it looks like the good ole mech frame is going back on :/ i'm going to miss the speed though when i do play

EDIT: ok so i'm playing around with it and i cocked the bolt back with the spring out of it just kind of walking it and i notice that it's firing like normal but if i take the bolt/striker out it quits firing like normal and goes back to lthe "half clicking" where it clicks put the sear doesnt trip and if i put pressure on the bolt it goes back to the half clicking

YouTube- sear isnt trpping

you cant really see a difference but you can kind of hear it

youtube no worky for me...

however, your description mirrors what I said before...either the battery is bad [replace it with a new one...a NiMh or lithium ion 9.6V 180 to 300 mAh] battery, charge it for up to 16 hours] or the capacitor is bad.

To see if the capacitor is bad, it will not be cylindrical...it will bulge at some point [not to be confused with the leads under the encasement] and/or leaking creosote [dark kind of puss].

Change the battery to something like this: http://www.megabatteries.com/item_details2.asp?id=15489

i just shimmed it with a penny and dime and it works now. It was just the right amount shimming, a nickel wasnt enough and 2 pennies were too much
