  • I could cry

    Just plugged in my phoenix dongle connected up my radio
    installed 2 updates one for a focker triplane & the other a gaui 550.
    Then it all stopped working
    I've fiddle a farted about with it & it seams to be an intermitent
    wireing fault.
    Do i open the dongle up & fiddle or try tech support & see
    if they might replace the dongle?

            If there is no sign of damage to the cable and its an internal problem they do swap them over FOC.

                There isnt any sign of apparent damage to the cable but
                after twiddling it about a bit sometimes you can get it to work.
                I've just taken the two screws out & had a look inside.
                Changing the lead is going to be a nightmare theyve epoxy filled
                the case to support the internal wireing & I dont see how they could
                easily change the leads it's a real mess inside that little box.

                  I had the same prob last year,
                  Mine was glued together so you couldn't open it.
                  I sent it for repair.

                    To be honest mate there isnt much to see inside the box only a gooey mess of epoxy or something like epoxy.

                      Hi mate, Yea, I took mine apart and saw the epoxy.So thought i'd go to maplins and replace what I thought would be the faulty part of the cable. Didn't work! Someone in the local shop told me I could have sent it back to Phoenix for repair FOC! With my " handy work" the warranty was void! GUTTED!
