    Hello my brothers pdw decided to die on him the other day, there is nothing when you pull the trigger, no noise nothing.

    We have tried several working batteries and none work so any help here would be appreciated

    ok is there a fuse fitted? did you check that?
    have you checked the motor connections?
    have you checked the wires have not been pulled out of the plugs/connectors?

    these would be my first things to check.

    This should be a standard V2 gearbox, but having never worked on one I am not sure. If it is, remove the motor base plate, disconnect the motor, and reconnect it outside of the pistol grip. Pull the trigger. If it spins, you've got yourself a gearbox problem, or more rarely, a motor strength issue. If it doesn't spin, wiring.

    If the motor doesn't spin, you'll need to open up the gearbox and have a look at the trigger contacts. It may be something as simple as dirty contacts, or something a lot more complicated

    Also if it helps there was what smelt like Vaseline at the top of the motor.

    Also, before it died the other day for about 5 mins it was not shooting semi then shooting semi, then not full auto etc

    just additional info if it helps

    Aye, that sounds like the trigger contacts - shouldn't be difficult to identify or fix

    Tried a different motor?
    Could be a carbon build up on the brushes. If it's not that then it may be that the contacts have a carbon build up, or you've kinked a wire and broken it.

    The copper contacts will be blackened looking.
