Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

yeah, I just killed my Turnigy 9x. You know the one. It had the programming board, ER9x firmware and the FrSky module. DEAD!!!!

I was going to upgrade to a LiFe battery and I had my solder guy at work swap the connectors and he accidentally reversed the polarity!

RIP

 

[teflyer]

[earthsciteach]

Aaaaarrrggghhhh!!! Tell him to buy you a new one.

I was going to do it myself but got lazy. It's really my fault. He said that he got distracted and may have reversed the wires so to check to make sure...I said something like "ahhhh, it looks ok"....famous last words.

I think lots of people have done that - and there is a fix.

You're welcome:

Thanks for that. The only thing is I don't know if I'd want to risk an expensive model on a repair job on a $60 radio.

What's wrong with two radios?

With any kind of luck, the smartieparts board is still good which is like half your investment.
Let us know if you're going to attempt surgery.
I feel for your loss......but I will learn from your mistake when I get mine this week.
And for that, thanks.

Brag brag brag.

 

[bicyclemonkey]

It's ok, it'll probably suck and I'll hate it compared to my T9x...

 

[bicyclemonkey]

Scratch the Aurora 9...My buddy is selling me his Futaba 14mz + case + three batteries for $300 since he's upgrading to the 18mz! Yay me.

 

[teflyer]

oooh! Nice!
Good deal!

 

[Ak Flyer]

Sweet deal, congrats

 

[bicyclemonkey]

Totally excited about that. This guy takes such good care of his stuff, all of his things look like the day he bought them.

Well the Turnigy 9x came back in stock in the USA warehouse last night about 10pm and I was able to get one on order before they went out of stock!!!! Now I can use all the Fr'Sky RX's I've already bought!
