  • Spektrum AR7200bx problem

    this is fitted to my trex 700n, all was working fine till i went to ajust the pitch. then went pear shape
    i was plugged into it with my stick usb interface into the laptop and still connected to the internet it told me
    that i needed an update so updated the ar7200bx from the email file and thats when my problems started
    nothing was plugged into it at the time apart from power and data lead shut it down as it said plugged it all back in
    went to try it everything worked ok on the startup lights flashing on both rows now all it does is flash up and down from
    H to N my transmitter wont connect to it
    unplug it put bind plug in thinking i had to rebind it light flashing on the corner set my dx7 to bind mode green light flashes for about 30 secs
    goes out and comes on green thinking its done powers off removes bind plug power back on same thing as before

    so i take it its now scrap not working or do you guys or gals have any ideas to whats going on thanks peeps

    Are any of your trims on your TX off centre, if some are it will detect that and not initialise, then try binding again, but once it has bound take the bind plug out without turning the power off, see if this helps.

      Can you re-flash it again, maybe something went wrong during the upgrade. Also try reverting to the 3.1.0 firmware, it should work OK you just won't have the gov feature

        Silly question have you got all servos connected, if the tail servo isn't connected it will do the same thing

                If your doing everything right during the bind process and it's still not binding then I'd send it back to Horizon Hobby and let them have a look. Their support is excellent and will probably cost you nothing but ring them first and talk it over with their tech support who are very helpful.

                          I don't think that will work, I've done a bit of Googling, there are a few cases of the H-N light sequence reported. In all cases I could find returning the unit was the only fix, nothing else worked.

                          Its caused by a faulty RX board as far as I can tell.

                              Does it respond to a factory reset or is the button dead too?
