Hey All,
Ok I have read 2 posts and I need some help nailing down where my issue may be with my Defender Mech.

First. When I turned the machine on after it was used for a tourney it came up with a a message
of Check F101, F109. Of course I don't remember the third part of "J something something 12v".

I know. I should have written it down.

I replaced the fuses and all the error messages go away except it now comes up with "Defender Mech is Broken" I tried to do the motor test and it will not run and of course fails the test. When you fire the machine up it doesn't move as it will to test at start up.

So where do I go from here? new motor? I don't know what the defender gearbox/motor should feel like when manually moving the defender arm but its really tight and doesn't flow nearly as free as I think it should.

I'm thinking of pulling the mech apart and see if the motor is seized up.

thoughts?
