Playing in the rain at the weekend, I left my warp somewhere I thought was dry. Turned out between games a puddle formed and the warp got very wet. when I picked the warp up the paint had swollen and one of the balls had burst.
I stripped it down and cleaned it out and it looked fine.
Problem is now when I connect the battery it just keeps spinning.
There is no sensor inside the warp, it's set up for intellifeed only.
I have dried it out and it worked fine for about 30 seconds, then just kept running again.
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be.
Cheers

All sorted, I think. Desoldered the primer button and removed it and it works fine now....i hope.

That probably means the prime button is still wet. Dry with a hair dryer and LET IT SIT in a warm (hot if possible) DRY environment. That should fix it. :D

Thanks I'll give that a try. I was just going to buy a new switch.
Think the moral here is don't leave your warp in a potential lake situation.
Not gonna let that happen again, second warp is on it's way for my back-up RT.
