OK, here's what you need to do...

#1 - Move this thread to the tech forum, maybe?
#2 - Buy a Mag.

Otherwise, I know nothing about Timmys. ;)

Later ~ Jonesie

First of all try posting Timmy questions in the Intimidator forum over at PBNation.....you will find a lot more help there (for Intimidator's) than at automags.org.

You didn't specify what board you are using so I'll just give you a few things to check. You probably either have no oring on the screw holding the board to frame (without the oring the screw can short out the board), or a loose or damaged ribbon cable.

Good luck.

does that gun still function, if it functions then it's a loose ribbon cable if it doesn't we need more info. The pbnation timmy forum is really the place to get info, they have the best techs over there.

problem fixed, i screwed one of the grip screws too far in and it messed up the ribbon. so with a little bit of silicon and some father expertise fixed it. thanks for all the help. :)

Is it black as in looks like somebody brned it? Or are all the pixel deals just blaked out. If its the first one, have you had it in the heat at all for long periods of time? That could be the problem, just let it sit and it will go away.
