Tagged for interest as I just got my EXPS too from Wolverine

Did you try to change batteries and see if it is battery problem?
 
yes...it is a hardware problem...tried three sets of batteries..($30),.. turned off,...next day they were dead.
 
This might sound silly, but could it be that you hit the NV button instead holding both UP and Down button to turn it off?
 
both buttons to turn off. Even so...if I did push theNV button...it should not drain brand new batteries overnight. I tried the reset,...checked connections...it is a L3 model, made in 2008..takes the 1.5v batteries.
 
Can you try to take the battery off for 10 minutes or so then put the battery back in? Turn it on, and then turn it off using the two buttons (not NV) and wait and see tomorrow?
 
I will try 10 minutes..tried 5 minutes reset though already. FML. ..just got my rifle set up with magpul stock and wanted to test it today.
 
started up...then I watched as it got dim and went out within about 20 seconds....argh!! gonna call.
 
Please let us know.

I hope Wolverine Supplies can chime in on this.

How do you know if yours is made in 2008? On my box cartoon says "inspected February 2013?
 
bottom of the sight has the sticker saying manufactured date was 2008....387397.
 
I got my Eotech EXPS yesterday and it looks awesome and rigid!

This is my first time having a fancy HWS and my first red dot was Strikefire Vortex. I have a couple of questions to all of HWS/red dot nuts out here:

-When I move my head around while looking at the recticle, the recticle moves around too?!? Why is that?
 
it is parallex free..whereever you look thru ithits. I just got off the phone..they offered some repair options, and are sending EOtech an email about it. ALso,...LOL..I ordered the XPS2-02.. big circle, 2 little dots...LOL. At least I will have to only carry one battery (the cr123) for my lights and optic. My malfunction eotech was a 551 with NV,
 
Also.......when I look at the recticle while pointing the Eotech down (while I am sitting down) there are times where the recticle disappear, and then after I move my head around, it reappears?!? How come?!
 
well, you have to realize the image is projected onto the screen....and if you lose that plane, you will not be able to see the projection.
 
It is a very fast sight iMHO....I prefer the big circle for just about everything under 75 yards...than use the dot for distance and precision.
