Have I fried my Rx??

[Davy Crockett]

hello folks
I'd like a bit of help please....

I have taken my Rx Spektrum, AR6100e off to tidy the wires better and when i have reconnected everything, no servos move

The power led comes on but feinter than i remember and if i connect the bind plug it doesnt flash like it did before

I have checked all connections and they look correct.

Have I fried/bust it?

Is your battery fully charged are you fitting the binding plug on the battery pins and connecting the battery on any other

[Davy Crockett]

tried 2 batteries... same thing
bind plug is on the batt input, main battery powers BEC, from BEC lead plugs into thro on Rx

when i plug the battery in, for a split scond LED is bright then drops to dim

[Gaza07]

Sounds like some thing is pulling the power down are the servos connected if so try just the rx on its own

check all plugs the right way up ie pos to pos not pos to neg. easy done i do it all the time lol

[Davy Crockett]

checked all plugs, all connected ok

removed them all except the power/throttle lead, bright led
plugged everything back in, LED goes dim when i plug in LHS cyclic servo, goes bright when removed????

but still no servos move

Have you turned your transmitter on ?

why are you using a BEC ? power is normally supllied via the ESC ?

Get a picture up if poss

but still no servos move

rebind without this servo connected??

rebind without this servo connected??

tried it....nothing

also tried re-binding with just:
ESC
ESC + gyro
ESC + every servo in turn
Everything connected
Everything except 'rogue' servo

still nothing, Rx led doesnt flash with bind plug fitted as it did before

ESC bleeps all times as usual but thats it, servos dont twitch, or move when sticks moved.

Does it smeel burnt out?

[Davy Crockett]

no smell

cant see any marks at all

>> LED goes dim when i plug in LHS cyclic servo

I suspect that servo is broken, but maybe it's not the only broken part.
Disconnect everything. Try to re-bind using only Rx, battery and bind plug.

If the LED lights up, and goes dark when you turn off the Tx, chances are good that the Rx itself is OK.

Tried re-binding with Rx batery & bind plug only...LED doesnt flash when i try to re-bind

LED doesnt go dark when you turn off Tx, it stays bright
Seems like the Rx powers up but wont 'connect' to the Tx

Update folks....

borrowed an Rx, made new model memory, bound to Tx, all works as before

with the 'dodgy' Rx, connected a battery pack direct with bind plug on battery plug... B****r me it started flashing!! changed Tx to original model, Re-bound with Tx, all good...however, when battery removed and all plugs connected, back to square one, dim led nothing works
with borrowed Rx, all servos move as before I started messing
