So, I hit the local scenario game, and both of my emags that worked on my last trip out, both failed to function today. I borrowed a friends gun for the day, but I'm trying to trouble shoot them now so I can use one or both tomorrow.
First up is my standard emag. Using Xmod. Fires perfectly in mechanical mode. When I switched it to emode it was already in hyper mode, I tried to switch it to semi, but the button was sticking, so I couldn't get through the settings. So I turned it off and back on and tried to fire, nothing at all. Didn't even hear the solenoid trying to click.
Got it home tonight, cleaned it up, cleaned up my button pushers so my buttons work correctly now, I can navigate the menus just fine. Now I have a problem where when I turn on the electronics, any mode. Semi, full, burst, etc. The solenoid functions exactly once and once only. I can lift the plunger out and pull the trigger again and it won't cycle at all again. I turn it off and back on, and it cycles the plunger exactly once. It does this without fail, 100% of the time. It will cycle the solenoid exactly once after powering up and then never again.
So I ask you experienced mag users. What is my potential issue here?
(Its worth noting that my e-Tac while it has some other issues, also will not cycle the solenoid at all. I thought it was possible that my charger was somehow going, but I put a voltmeter on the plug, its putting out 12v, and the charging block is putting out 18v. So I suspect its probably working correctly, but I find it a stretch that both my batteries would go bad at the same time.)
