Micro E Mag won't fire in electronic mode.
My Micro E Mag won't fire in electronic mode. The last time I played with the marker, everything worked great. I cleaned it and put it away without testing anything. Before playing this time, I decided that I wanted to shorten my trigger pull. I read BlackVCG's Trigger Adjustment Thread and watched the video. I adjusted the trigger stop and tested the marker. I wouldn't fire in EMode. Here's what I know:
1. The battery was fully charged. I used a voltometer and the reading was 19.21 VDC. The battery also works to power a different E Mag that I have available for testing.
2. The marker works great in manual mode.
3. The electronics cycle through the functions with no problem. The game timer functions properly.
4. When I attempt to fire the marker in E Mode, the shot counter increments but the solenoid doesn't engage and the Intellifed Warp does not spin.
5. If I move the trigger magnet too far forward, the LED display stops functioning properly (it only displays 10-40% of the dots it should) and once I back it out to a safe distance, the LED display begins working correctly.
6. I am fairly certain the trigger adjust is within an acceptable range. I have a never been adjusted E Mag that I am comparing it too.
7. Switching the sear assembly doesn't change anything.
8. If I turn the magnet in the trigger over, the shot counter stops incrementing.
9. If I remove the burst jumper, the board switches modes. If I set the marker for a 6 shot burst and pull the trigger in E Mode, the shot counter is increment by 6.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I'm not sure if the problem is with the solenoid or the board since the Warp doesn't spin. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

You have done an excellent job in providing information for us to help.
4. This is important in figuring the problem. Since the counter is incrementing, it is a good bet that the microprocessor and HES is functioning.
5. I don't know what could cause the LED display to react like this unless there was a power problem.
The combination of both of the above leads me to think that maybe the electronic ground is bad between the board and the body. Try cleaning the hole where the screw goes through the board into the grip frame.
