model shop will probably tell you to go direct as its probably out of warranty.

have you looked at the fuse ???

tryed the fuse inside

You had the back off and checked the fuse Nathan.

[GravityKills]

probably the fuse is blown.
Just open the back - you're allowed to do that anyway to adjust stick tension. Check the fuse with an ohm-meter. It's exactly in the middle, below the raised circuit board.
Usually I blow five of them every year, when accidentally short-circuiting the charging cable.
edit: too late
too late

It is a 3A 250V 20mm Fuse, you can get 3.15A one from Maplin, 10 for £2 or SPMH030 which is Spektrum part number for £2 each, both do the same job.
