Anyone had theres done recently? If so where did you send it, it's far from clear whether it's Phoenix themslves or Horizon Hobby

Try opening it up yourself Dave, usually its just the wires come off the PCB, I managed to repair mine myself after digging round in the black gunk that's in there.

It's the jack Guy, I've repaired one before but for £15 I don't think I can be bothered.

Did you use the same method as they used to where you send it in and then once they acknowledge receipt you purchase the dongle repair on their website

its easy fix it yourself.
The most likely break is just where the cable leaves the box. Open the box.. there is a cable taht contains a red and white wire and a screen. the screen is uasally in good condition but the red wire connects to the jack tip and the white is teh ring (not connected)

Cut the cabble just outside the box and then strip it to test to the plug. if it does you have found the fault. pull teh cable end apart so that you can expose the red and screen and just remake the joint inside the box.
