Spyder Imagine trigger repair

A friend of mine recently brought a Spyder Paintball Marker that needed repair. The gun was in pieces, after putting it together and charging the gun I realized it still would not fire. I disassembled the handle as this is where the electronics for the gun are contained. I inspected the main capacitor and realized that it was blown. If you look closely at the top of the capacitor you can see it is puffy. I was able to find the capacitor at an online retailer for a few dollars. After a quick solder job I put the board back inside of the gun and assembled the handle to test it out. If you notice I have two boards here, that's because after talking to a friend about this project they informed me that they too had a problem with the same gun. This is the gun partially assembled with the new capacitor in place. The LED's light up correctly and the gun fires correctly. Later I put the gun back together and it was tested with an air tank at full automatic mode (it passed).
