but who nows for how long......
so do i try to cut it back and puy a new plug on?
or just send it back ?
looks like the online sessions will be a no no for a while

I think a post cropped up a few days ago or quite recently regarding the same issue.. They won't accept it back for repair IIRC.

If it is just the 3.5mm jack then replace it yourself

thanks jerome,
i think thats what i will end up doing m8

[heliboy]

Not surprised its worn out and your still crap!lol

Im pretty sure if you send it bank to Phoenix they will give you a new one. Try emailing the support team see what they say. It might be easier then replacing it yourself.

there joe

[adieuk]

ill email them and see what they say m8

Sorry to hear that pal. Hope you get it fixed soon! Keep me updated.

[jhurwitz]

When I emailed them about it they said they could only send a replacement if I sent them the original which I had misplaced so I got a new one on the bay for like $122 instead of $130 brand new lol

BTW, I made a small loop with the last 2 inches of my lead and used a rubber band to hold it in place. I did this to help prevent damage to the section of wire that enters the connector.

[adieuk]

no its not working jason

Oh no, sorry to hear that mate! My jack keeps popping out the TX mid-flight, concerned I'll be in the same boat in the not too distant future. To pay for the sim again would be ridiculous, definitely fixing the lead, if you can, sounds like your best option buddy.

I know its too late for some but I drilled a few holes in the battery cover on my 6EX and put a wire tie through, then hold the wire down to prevent stress at the plug...

What does IIRC mean? I have got the same problem and have repaired it once. If this is a common problem then what they are supplying isn't fit for purpose. I've sent mine back for repair, I'll wait and see what happens. The dongle can't cost that much as the repair is only £15

I've repaired mine - I got a 3.5mm lead off the net, and joined the cables after the break. Also means I've got a longer Phoenix lead.
