  1. I think that I messed up mine by trying to bind with power inverted (+/-/signal).
    I wonder if there is a component that could work as a fuse that can be replaced.

    Thanks

  2. Orison, I don't think inverting the connector will hurt the receiver.

    It is frustrating when the receiver does not bind. My first receiver (expensive genuine DSM2) did not bind and I wasted about 3-4 hours trying all sorts of things.

  3. Usually binding problems turn out to be having the TX to close to the RX, I have experienced the same issues at times. Just a matter of moving the TX a bit further away.

  4. I'm really interested in finding out what the wireless chip on this reciever is. Any developments in figuring it out?

  5. I kept waiting for one of them to stop working, but they're all going strong! So I haven't had the heart to pry the capacitor of to try to scrape off the glue. If anybody has an old one they're not using give me a shout!
