question, I seems my IR bulb is no longer working. when I shot a BB I get the cannon noise and recoil. without a BB I do not get a cannon noise or a recoil and no IR flash. Does this mean my IR bulb has gone bad or do I have a board problem?

Are you using your cell phone camera to determine if the IR bulb isn't working?

Hmm. This is an odd issue, because the BB being in the chamber or not should not have any influence on whether or not the firing sequence actuates. There isn't a sensor or switch in that area, telling the recoil system to only fire if a BB is there, so there shouldn't be any correlation.
Have you checked for loose connections at the board? Or perhaps where the yellow wire is soldered to the breech?

There is no reason for it not to function if no BBs are loaded.

new update. it's now working fine, but I did nothing to it. originally I had checked all the connections and nothing helped. Could it be an over heating problem. I was on my third battery with about two hours of running in record 102 degree heat. to much for it??? has anyone installed cooling fans in thier tanks?
