Brand New Blade 400; battery won't charge

[Splatercash]

If the weather is good on sat then you should come over to the farm and we will get you all set up. i have a good charger that we can plug into the computer and double check the battery.

we can get your blade set up and hopefully see you enjoying the hobby rather than hating it !

Might take you up on that at some point. Can't be this weekend as I have visitors and I'm busy...and probably won't have the Dx6i, lol!

Wow, all and all this has been a pretty miserable experience!

I spent a few hours today trailing all over town to get a power adaptor that would power the eflight balance charger and when I finally got one the battery wouldn't charge. Then whilst crawling through this site I find a product recall for the Dx6i and...shock, horror my build number is listed!!

So, this morning at 12:30 my Blade 400 arrived and I was excited as could be. I've not flown it at all and now I have to phone the model shop and presumably send the battery and charger back to them and the transmitter to god knows where. It's anybody's guess as to when I'll be ready to go with a fully working Blade 400 but I'm guessing it won't be anytime within the next week Gutted!

thats very unlucky!
as i see you have managed to find the code for the dx6i can you please tell me where to find it
btw im sure when your up and running you will love the 400

Mines was on a sticker on the slider (cover) to the battery compartment (the side that faces the batteries as opposed to the exterior). My code was HE807E which I believe is one that needs to go back
