Ok, so I've had my warp for a few months now and never really had any issues with it. I never played a game with it either, I've just been shooting in my yard from time to time.
All of a sudden, it just stopped working. I had a fresh 9v in it, 2 that I tried, and it won't spin. It won't go by the button or the vibration sensor.
So I said "what the heck?" and I took it apart. While it was clamshelled I hooked the battery up to it and tried to activate it and still nothing, but at very wierd angles of the battery it would engage for a second then quit again.
The first month I had it, the positive wire for the battery came off the board contact and I had to soldner it back on. I did so successfully and it's worked for a while since then so I can't think it was the contacts.
I never used more than one 9v at a time and it's an unmodded warp so I can't think I fried the board or anything.
Could the wires for the battery clip be screwed up? The motor couldn't be burned out because I barely used it. The cotacts are all still good for the motor. Jumpers are all on the stock settings so idk how that could have screwed anything up...
Please help! I don't want to have a "blimp" on top of my marker when I play! :(
I don't want to have to buy a whole new warp either... and I doubt anyone would just be selling the board/motor/battery assembly...
