The parts to fix it are very cheap anyway. The controller is 5.09 and the screen is 10.00, both available from digikey. They are originally made by Texas Instruments. I have decided to fix my own as they are not really interested in helping their customers and the freight to get it to China is worth more than the parts to fix it. |

Hey all,
I crashed my mini CP today, and now the poor thing will not power up. No indication from the LED and no binding at all. Just completely dead. Any suggestions? |

Have you checked to see that your battery cable is still connected to the receiver? Those wires are known to fray and even disconnect after a few hard crashed or pulling while removing the battery.

Yes, I checked that. I confirmed voltage to the back-side of the RX board where the wires from the battery go through the board.
Just dead. no LEd, no nothing... |

My coil is still there, has a bit of that White epoxy around it too. the top of that coil thingy does move around slightly, like if i put my fingernail under it.
come to think of it, my canopy has been flipping up and coming off from the bottom, maybe that ripped something loose. thanks again |

here is info about the coil saver mod and others https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...8&postcount=10 I originally stated that the silicone does not work to save the coil. I have always used gorilla glue the "dries white 2x stronger" kind Its super lightweight and super strong. I glue the battery cables where they enter the board too,

I've just ordered the mini! and I have a few questions:
1. Anyone tried these batteries? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/5x-Ex...540565691.html 2. Where can I find servo arms? I rather have a spare before trying the servo saver mod... 3. Is there a free PC simulator that works with the devo 8s? If so, how do I connect it? Thanks for answering, and for all the info already in this thread! |

2- from what i read so far, you dont, either the full servo or nothing. 3- seriously, just, seriously, stay away from free simulators, they are crap. get phoenix or real flight, costy but your heli is way more expensive. |
