When you go into gun test mode in the settings, is the gun turning without you pressing the +/-? If the gun only turns while you are asking it to in test, I don't think it's a problem with a transistor.

I don't remember, is that normal or is it only supposed to run while you are holding the button down?

Quoted from indypinhead:

When I go into gun test mode, the gun is idle until I push the "+"

It continues to run until I shut it off by pressing the "-"

Also, you let the gun initialize for 3 or 4 minutes, right? It's not that quick a process....

When my gun initializes, it gets slower and slower then springs back to life. I think it's normal. I think it's taking a bunch of readings and then making adjustements from there.

Turn the game on, let it initialize the gun for 10 minutes. The motor going for 10 minutes won't do any harm to it. Also, my gun fires a bunch as well, seems normal.

Sounds like you are not letting it initialize long enough, that could be the only issue.

Quoted from indypinhead:

I went ahead and replaced the battery holder...

The factory reset issue is solved.

I ordered the motor board.

Hopefully, that will solve that problem.
