I was going to do a full write up on one of the most common AEG issues, trigger post break. I just fixed what feels like the 100th one.

Very common with reinforced mechboxes, I know right? They are significantly less thick than stock boxes.

How to fix it is easy:

Symptoms:
Your AEG suddenly stops firing and you have no power whatsoever.
Checked your battery, connections, motor wires, all good, no power.
The trigger moves back and forth, but feels weird, as if its not engaging anymore.

Cause: The little post that sits behind the trigger block broke and now the trigger block is behind the trigger so it no longer engages.

Fix: Disasemble your entire AEG, and your entire gearbox until you are working with just the shell.
-Locate the broken trigger post, you don't want this loose inside your mechbox.
-Get a small metal drillbit, drill a hole right through where the trigger post was.
-Find a small hex, fine threaded screw slightly bigger than your hole.
-Thread in the screw slowly, make sure it bites and is tight, and screw it in all the way through the mechbox shell.
-Remove the screw and use some superglue, put this on the threads, and screw it back in. Leave it to try for a few minutes.
-Cut the head off the screw, and sand/file the screw head and the side of the screw that the gears are, make sure they do not touch the sector gear.
-File/Sand the other side of the screw on the outside of the mechbox, cant have any protruding and touching the selector plate.
-Reassemble your gun, make sure to test the trigger block, make sure you left enough that it sits at least up into the center of the trigger block.

Your now good to go with a new trigger post that won't break. I do this to all new mechboxes in advance or any that I take apart and tech. Saves you doing it again later, because that post is going to break.
