Help - weird Ricochet2k problem

[drx975]

Ok here's what happened. After playing one day I noticed the inside of my ric2k smelled like death so i ran some water through it (keep in mind ive run water through it before) and just cleaned it out a little...then after 5 days (I was smart enough not to turn the thing on with water possibly on the board) and it wont stay on. What happens is it will stay on if i press AND hold the button down...as soon as I depress the power button, it turns off.

Ive resoldered the wires to the motor (one came off) and that wasnt it...and i cleaned off the board with rubbing alcohol (is that bad?) and it seemed to help - like i put the battery in and it stayed on, but when i turned it off it wouldnt turn back on.

Anyone know what i can do besides sending it back?

well the good news is that Ricochet or whatever the name of the company that makes the rico2k is awesome. Just send them an email on their website and tell your problem. They will probably send you either a new hopper or new motor. They have incredibly great Customer Service. I needed some orings for my rico2k and 2 days later i got a pack of em! for free! they are great. So just visit the site, i really dont know off the top of my head.(Go to pbreview.com see the review for the rico and then in the info section click link to site.)
