Help! R84 receiver no LED when connected to power

[F35lightning]

Hi all, I recently bought a tiny tutor combo and am currently building it. Yesterday, my r84 v2 receiver was working pretty well, though it kept on losing connection to the radio which was kind of annoying. the throttle didnt work too but i thought that might be a control issue. However, when i tried to plug in my battery today, the LED would not turn on. I tried rebinding it, but the LED would not turn on. I checked the wires, made sure they were in the right order, brown is -, red is +, and yellow is signal right? I used my multimeter and found out that with my esc plugged in, all the other ports were generating 5 ish volts, so its not my esc or battery. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like your plugged in upside down signal wire usually goes in the up position red in the middle and brown black bottom pin, since you don`t have throttle.

those receivers have issues where it loses singal when too close to it, and I dont have the led turn on, but it still connects to my transmitter on mine, led or not, it works. As long as the receiver works and connects to your tx, leave it alone, no point messing with it.

the r84 is side by side, it has a 6x2 pin setup. and im pretty sure brown is the minus sign.

Mines doesnt seem to connect because when i hold bind on the receiver and radio, the radio stops binding after a few seconds and doesnt show anything connected.

interesting, and to doble check, do you have a spare receiver you can try binding to? also the bidn button can be very finnicky, make sure that the bind utton clicks and your protocol set to frsky_d -> cloned, not d8

I dont have a extra receiver. wdym by setting it to cloned, i thought i was supposed to use d8 according to the tutorial.

I have found that if you change the d8 out for cloned it works better, I got 50/50 results using d8. I found are using edgetx there should be a sub menu instead of d8 select cloned.

Nope, didnt work. Maybe i should get a new receiver…

You are correct. Different manufactures may use different colors. But the color code is always:

Red is always positive.
The darkest color, usually brown or black, is negative.
And the lightest color, usually yellow or white, is the signal wire.
