    Bad Warp connections AGD

    Two days ago, I was taking my mag apart for cleaning, and took the battery out of the warp. Well,when I pulled the battery off of the 9 volt connector, one of the wire connections inside broke loose, and I had to re-sodder it. That was faily easy, but now the outter plastic casing is torn apart. Then, just today, the very end of the wire, on the end that attaches to the board came loose, just at the very end. I took the back of the Warp off, and pulled out the board, but realized that it cant come out more than a few centimeters because the other wires holding it in there. The sodder gun is far too large to get in there, so how am I supposed to fix this? This hinders my play time, and I would veyr much like to play very soon, and if I go back to a normal hopper on an elbow, I won't come back to a Warp. I'll just sell mine, and be done with it.
    AGD please make these connections stronger, it is a pain in the neck to try to fix problems like this. I almost wanted to smash the thing with a bat I was so made. I really don't ever want to fix stupid problems like this again. Anyway, is ther anything you can do about this?

    If you need to fix the wire connections going to the board, take off the front half of the shell, desolder the wires going to the motor, then unscrew the board and you can pull it out. While you're at it, you might as well remove the stock 9v snap and solder in a heavy duty 9v connector from Radio Shack.

    The connections will break if you let the battery hang from the wires to where it's pulling on the wires. Just be careful when you're disconnecting and plugging in the battery and the connections should hold up fine.

      I do think the soldering on the Warp PCB is inadequate. I'd get after the supplier if I ran the world.
      My stint in quality makes me focus on poor solder joints and such.

        Thanks guys for the tips. I'll most certainly be taking a trip out to radio shack this week.
