dm4 questions

[maxwell]

My friend picked up a DM4 last week and it has the tadao chip in it. When turned on the marker will shoot even w/o paint in it while the LED is blue...after 5 shots it turns red (eyes off?). With paint in the gun it still turns to red after five hots..disabling the eyes I assume? I have cleaned the eyes and checked connections...they seem fine...what's up? It seems like the gun shoots slow with the eyes disabled.

Well I would say your eyes are bad. First off the led turns red after 5 shots when the trigger is pulled 5 times and the eyes are still detecting something in their path. For instance, if it is working correctly (be sure gas is off) and you stick your finger down in the breech and pull the trigger 5 times it will go red. Since your finger never left the path of the eyes it assumes you had a chop or something blocked the eyes, so it turns them off so you can keep playing. If you would have put your finger down and pulled like 2 times, took it out, pull once, put it back in and pulled 2 more times it won't turn red.

Also when you first turn it on and led is blue (means eyes are on) it should not dry fire with no paint.


therefore either the eyes are dirty, maybe an eye wire is pinched somewhere, or the eyes are toast.

So Why Does It Aqllow The Gun To Fire When The Led Is Blue? Where Can Eyes Be Purchased?

First thing

First thing put in a new battery. I don't care how new you think yours is. Put a new one in. That has solved 99% of our DM4 problems.

I dind't fully understand:

When turned on the turn solid blue or blinking blue? (Solid blue means eyes on / ready to fire where as blinking means eyes on / no ball in breach). When in blinking blue you can fire a dry shot when you press/hold the trigger for about a sec or so.

Does your friend LED show Solid or blinking blue?

[maxwell]

It shows solid blue and will fire the instant the trigger is pulled...even W/O paint in it.

I'll agree with Molly on the battery issue.

[Skoad]

yea thats true also, stick a new battery in there.

[maxwell]

The 9v that is in the markker is a duracell and reads 8.4v......nevertheless I will try a new battery today.

[madmolly]

8.4

I tested a battery at 8.2 and it would not function my dm4. A new 9 volt is at 9.6 volts.

clean the eyes.

i had this problem last night with a gun the team just picked up. its a tadao board that booted blue.. you fire a few tiems then went red. eyes were caked with junk. that and a new battery fixed everything besides the massive amount of leaks

new battery...clean eyes...check wires...still no eyes!!!

[felony]

you said tadao right?

are you just dry firing with something in the breach?

if you are dryfiring with something in tthe breach or for that matter just pulling the trigger with something in the breach, it will do what you are saying.

the eye logic notices if something is in the breach but not firing (ie shell/paint)

My dm4 with tadao does the same thing. say im dryfiring with a squeege in the barrel/breech.
