Spektrum DX6i in need of repair

Maybe I missed it but if you bought this from your LHS they should have just replaced it. Mine was over a year old when it began having issues and since i frequent their shop (I imagine) they offered to send it back as theirs and give me the new one, which they did! Thats one of the benefits of shopping local.

Glad you got there in the end Derek:)

The bit I don't understand is how we get a better service in the Uk than across the pond?

Like I said before I called them and they sent the part free of charge, and I fitted it and it worked:)

I hear ya, Graham! I don't understand it either. I even tried calling Horizon Hobby and I was on hold for more than 20 minutes, so I hung up. I'm just glad it's working properly again.

I surely wished that my LHS would have stepped up and helped me out. However, they pretty much just told me that they couldn't help me and that I would have to contact Horizon Hobby.

Never underestimate the power of a Tony :biggrin1:

Well....in regard to you, Tony......I won't, lol. However, I have a supervisor at work that is a "Tony" and we refer to him as something that cannot, should not, and will not be mentioned on the forum, lol.

Anyway...thanks for the easy suggestion. I was very pleased that it worked as simply as it did.

I'm glad that you were able to find a way to make yours work. I just went a bought a can of "Electronics Cleaner". It's a spray with a very fine mist. It worked very well and my DX6i is still working today.
