Being that is the solenoid ground there must have been a short in the noid or the wires..The board is repairable by the way.. cheap too!!

how?edit<about the fix>

yes the ground solenoid wire came loose; i soldered it back on. that was fine.

I went to put the battery pack on and noticed some of the solder was bulging close to the neighboring contact. So, with the battery pack like this:

i take my knife to cut away the extra solder.
the battery slips on. my knife touches the two contacts and **poof** fire, for a few seconds, until i pull the battery off. scared the sh*! out of me. you can see the solder ran away from the ground it was so hot.


woodsball survival tip#1: if you get lost during a woods ball game and need to make a fire, you can sacrifice you emag.
