Have you tried powering from usb?
There are other photos from above
Yeah, it doesn't do anything, and I'm pretty sure is never did. It must either be a way to pull images off the sd card or for firmware updates.
Reading that blog, it may mean that the IC is fubarred 😡. Feck knows what Teledyne will charge to fix that...Well they'll just replace the board if anything at all.

I know SFA about this but there are apps you can use on your mobile that will do the same job, The plumber that serviced my heating used one to show me the 'thermals' of each radiator.
(just in case you can't get it sorted)
I have one of those too. I use it to show people how their heat pumps are working and how (usually badly) their underfloor heating has been installed and set up.

My FLiR gun is useful for the minions to use on occasion, plus possibly when pewing. It's annoying that something so daft has potentially killed it.

It's shame this photo isn't 180 degrees rotated... one of those little components must be the chappy.

what sales discords are about now? can i have some links? heard a few got deleted
Que?

Whelp - got inside and to one side of the PCB. Was half hoping the charging circuits would be on a secondary board, but hey ho.
Nothing seems to have gone pop on this side, but the socket is soldered to the other side, and I haven't got the kahunas to take it apart further incase I damage the screen or lense.
Found a comment on Youtube that also mentioned a blown diode. At least I have the battery out now so I can check that tomorrow when my new probes arrive.
The battery is just an 1860 with a thermistor stuck to the side - so that is easy enough to deal with.

Not on this model:
Hunting for my spudgers right now.

Ah - not the top - but the back of the handle.... Now don't I feel like a plum LOL.

Looks like i need to find a way to open her up...

If there's reverse polarity it would likely be a series diode, it's a small load and it shouldn't fail even if the polarity was reversed.
Does it show it's charging?
The battery comes out on those doesn't it?
When its plug in the charging LEDs stay off. Officially the batteries are not user serviceable, however, I found a place still selling the camera with a spare battery as an accessory. I suspect it's easy enough to change the battery if you can open the case without damaging it. I have ordered a new charging brick for it as well as some needle probes for the multimeter if only to eliminate that side of things.

Pretty sure the voltage is still OK as the camera knows to shut itself down before they get too low. This it has done perfectly well for years (I bought it new in 2009).

Big Clive would be proud - I've done this in a Yoku Moku box a few times. Have also tried to restore a DJI battery that was well below voltage, but the PCB is sneaky and knows that the cells were discharged, even if you managed to bring them back - I even disconnected them from the main PCB.

Am,I right in thinking if you get the polarity wrong on a charger you can blow the circuit board of the device you're trying to charge?
Reason being, I have an old FLiR i7 thermal camera that the boy and I were going to use on a game day, so we did a battery test. Happy to discover that despite it'd age, there was a good 5 hours battery life.
I then had to lend it to a customer (long story) who tried to charge it using an adapter he had at home that was the same voltage but it turns out unknown polarity).
When I got it back there was about 5 minutes battery life left, and when I plugged it in with my charger it wouldn't take any juice.
So I know the battery was/is good, so he's either fried something on the camera or my charger has spontaneously shat itself (my multimeter is too chunky to get inside the plug to measure the angry pixies). Possibly a blown diode?
Tah in advance!

RIFT Airsoft launched a new CQB site (in the last 3 months) called the Battery
I thought that was gong to be closed down soon because the land had been sold?

That'll be the "divine wind" imparted on the BB by the super Ninja Bucking that Gaijin clones are not allowed to use. They're a sneaky mercenary lot over there. Trust me - I know.

@Dan Robinson Do you have a list of mags that work with your Specna that you could share? Which model do you have?
Thanks for the warm welcme 😂😂😂
Two of the three I have here are ICS and another is Nuprol. I think the other one is Kings Arms? Could be wrong on that though. Don't tell my boy about the ICS ones though - one will be his
-
I've marked the mags that work fine with my Specna. It's not too fussy, but not all this Airsoft are equal.
Welcome to Airsoft 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It is a gorgeous gun though.

Is that gearbox radiused? It's too late for that though.
Just double checked and it had been radiused. Which is disturbing too. How much difference is there really in the different options not from a specific metal?

Shiny!

I do think it's helpful of Specna to have named their gearbox, so that we can know what to avoid.
Would rather they spent the marketing budget on a few microns extra material.... or perhaps use a.real metal.
The hunt continues... 😕

That's not an Edge receiver
It's what they're calling the new Edge 2.0 pew - happened to see one this morning on my travels.

Whackamole time again...Happy to volunteer for any required bitch slapping.

Where Mr Spoons is thinking of using them is rather close to where some Geegees live. At least initially, there might be limits on what can go bang until they're moved or acclimatised.

Sorry to see that. The Orion boxes are notorious for it, even though they're radiused from the sweatshop.
I'm running a 2021 example as a DMR at 1.4J just to see how long it lasts. I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
It's rather perverse that they come fitted with an M120 spring that's likely to wreck them sooner rather than later.
Seems the new Orions are no better than my standard V2 then. Still, would that red one be worth the £90 if only for the cylinder, Titan and trigger? Tye can be transplanted once again when the time comes? Would only be running git at standard AEG limits.

Never had a problem with PB, and all UK warehouse shipments have arrived well within time. Are you sure your order wasn't from the EU warehouse (which I read as "we're waiting for a few more orders to justify a container")?
