My invert mini wont fire even with all the necessities

[noobster84]

I have the tank full hopper full of paintballs and the invert on but when i pull the trigger it doesnt shoot???? Please help if you can

[iliveforthis99]

Have you tried a new name brand battery?

[killertip212]

battery installed properly?

[noobster84]

yes the batteries are in properly

[OWNAGE]

What's your input pressure adjusted to?

Moved to Invert.

[paingwin238]

could be a lack of lube

[noobster84]

how do you tel what is adjusted to i am a noob

[pb108]

check the guage at the bottom of the grip

[Dees_Troy]

Some possibilities:

Trigger could be too far out of adjustment to register a trigger pull
Lost the trigger activation magnet that is on the trigger
Unplugged solenoid
Solenoid is sticking
Paint is not feeding into the breach for some reason (hopper not turned on, bolt sticking forward)
Bad battery
Marker not turned on
Tank not screwed in
Bad sensor board
Bad main board

[noobster84]

if those are the problems then how much does it cost to fix any one thing

[nerdcore]

Solenoid is sticking most likely. Quick fix is turn the dwell up and dry fire (shoot with no paint, eyes off) until it starts shooting, then turn the dwell back down to stock (or reset board, see manual).

If that doesn't work, the 'noid will have to manually be reset, which requires disassembly of the 'noid. Biggest problem with that is the screws holding the 'noid cap on, because they're tiny and on there tight, you could strip them, which will then render them near-impossible to remove without damaging the 'noid.

My 'noid sticks but only for the first 2-3 shots, then it's fine all game long. Learned to live with it now, since i'm too lazy to fix it, lol.

just went to T and m paintball store and the y fixed it for 20 bucks

[flash_punisher]

got the same problem. took the hopper off and noticed my blot wasnt going back all the way so the balls wouldnt drop and the marker wouldnt shoot, tried cleaning and lubing still didnt work drop me a line if this is similar and if u solved ur porblem

[bvdave]

try taking apart and cleaning the solenoid completely and "lightly" lubing it, too much lube and you get issues.

[loldongs]

OK we had this the other day and this is how you fix it:
1 download manual if you don't have it
2 take apart your mini entirely (watch the when opening the back this tiny spring shot out and nearly vanished when we did this.
3 clean everything especially the old lube
4 reassemble and re lube the parts as indicated by the manual
5 attach the gas and listen for leakages if not it should be working fine if not a o-ring may have gotten damaged (we have heaps of shockers at the court that love this )

check to make sure your air pressure is between 350-400 psi on the guage on the bottom of gun. also check to make sure the male to female tubes are adjusted so that there is no leak. im an invert gun tech hope this helps lol

[Dees_Troy]

Please DO NOT adjust your Mini's regulator to put 350 to 400psi into the Mini. The Mini only needs 200psi to operate. Sending 350+psi through your regulator will likely blow the solenoid at a cost of $45 plus shipping for a new one.

[adam henry]

the invert mini is designed to run on 350-400 psi. i am a certified tech on them so its ok to have that pressure through the gun....

[adam henry]

make sure you screw in the on off


:laugh:

[loldongs]

180-200 psi is the recommended setting

[OWNAGE]

No, the female regulator is set at factory and not to be adjusted. You might want to go to a refresher class if you are indeed certified...

[adam henry]

for one read the owners manual where it clearly states the suggested pressure is 350-400 psi. the only way to operate the gun at a lower psi is with upgrades. i have worked on hundreds of them being that i am a certified tech!!!

[loldongs]

I just read it and it said recommended pressure is 180-200 as it uses "child" parts so by setting it to 400PSi you can cause injury not even my DP F7 uses 400 PSI

Check page 1 of the manual. In bright red letters it says " The MINI operates on low-pressure. The main operating pressure is 180-200 PSI." What you read was on page 5 (Compressed Air/ Nitrogen Supply), on that page it says "It is recommended that you use a low-pressure (350-450 psi) fixed output regulator system although it is acceptable to use a high pressure fixed output (750-850 psi) system." You got operating pressure and tank input pressure mixed up. You made yourself look quite foolish by quoting the same manual I pulled my facts from to prove you wrong. If your a marker tech you need to go back to paintball markers 101 or just quit.



Check it for yourself, page 1 operating pressure, page 5 tank output pressure, http://info.paintball.ru/files/manuals/marker/mini.pdf

[paingwin238]

i believe a tech would know that if you were. If adam henry would have tech'd my mini at that i would be pissed as hell

[marcusg]

im sure he was talking about the tanks input pressure and not the whole gun operating pressure.

[sadpanda]

im sure he was talking about the tanks input pressure and not the whole gun operating pressure.

I really doubt it, he referenced the gauge to check the pressure . . . the gauge displays the regulated input pressure to the marker not the tank output pressure. He also said he was an invert tech in every single post he made, I think we would have got it the first time he said it. He seems like an uneducated phony trying to give out his advice as fact when in reality he is leading innocent pbr members to destroying their markers. Just check the last post I made for a detailed description of the mistake he made and almost passed on to noobster.
