ESS Turbofan problems...
 

Hi guys,

I got my ESS Turbofan V2 last year and used them at 4 or 5 games. I really like them and never had any fog problem again. But strangely only after a few games they were not working anymore. I took great care of them on the field and never abused them.

I took everything apart and back again (with new soldering), they work for a couple of seconds and then nothing...I even tried to plug the battery directly on the motor, it works a little....stops...works again....so it's not a switch problem...it must be the tiny electric motor....anyone has ever had the same problem ? I tried some electronic stores to find a replacement for the electric motor but none had some. I looked on the Web and couldn't find any place to buy a spare motor.

The ESS Company doesn't want to send me any part because they say I didn't buy them directly from them (that's true).

I don't want to buy a new pair, they are expensive and they are almost brand new....any help would be appreciated,

thanks

could be something with your motor or your battery then, try using another battery and if it still persists, its most likely your motor.

Mine quit working,put in a new battery and all is fine.:D I get home from the game and decide to test dead battery and tester shows it is in the green.Weird :rolleyes:

But mine would run like you said for a few seconds then die.But fresh duracell and ran for 4hrs no prob.
