Emag won't startup

[cannibalpope]

I just bought an emag the other day.

After charging the battery for 4 hours, I turn the marker on and the lcd just flashes a few random letters and shuts off. None of the buttons seem to respond.

What could be causing this problem?

ur trigger magnet seems to be to close to your Hall Sensor put your finger behind the trigger a bit and then turn it on if it still does that then back out your trigger magnet a bit.

Yes, back the trigger magnet out towards the front of the trigger. That should cure your problem.

Your battery may be shot. If you can, rig up a 9V to it to see if the boot screen pops up. Put the + lead on the screw connected to the red lead and the - on screw connected to the frame.

You only need 9V to see if the boot menu, but 18V to activate the solenoid.
