flakey ricochet

[mr. lobster]

anybody had any problems with the board in their rich going crazy? mine seemed a little odd, then when i installed the replacement motor that ricochet sent me (very quickly, i might add) the thing seemed to go crazy, the on/off button no longer work, it turns on and off at random times, more or less... pretty much just does random crap, and work very inconsistantly...
anybody else had any problem, or suggestions on how i could fix this?

When my battery was low I experienced similar syptoms. Sometimes it would turn on, sometimes it wouldn't, numbers would flash, motor would cycle and then it would turn off, etc...

Hope that does it for you...

yea, i replaced the batteries, it seemed to work ok for a little while, then got all crazy again, maybe i'll go buy some brand new ones... oh yea, and only buy rayovac! cuz they're the best.....

that was my shameless advertising for my best friends dad in case anyone was wondering... but really, just cuz the don't have a pink bunny with drums doesn't mean they can't be cool...i don't have a pink bunny with drums and i'm still cool.... at least that's what my mommy tells me...

I personnal don't like the Rayovac batteries - always seem weak and short lived. I pay a little more for Duracells and will ocassionaly use the Energizer Alkalines.

I suspect that you ARE experiencing battery related problems.

yea, maybe i'll buy one of each kinda... then we'll see... i think i'll get myself some tomorow though, we'll see if that does it
