Controller X1 Doesn't Calibrate

[gword256]

Just got my Phantom 2 delivered. I am trying controller calibration and the X1 channel doesn't move at all. I see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2zNT6kHoEM that is doesn't normally move full range but mine does not move at all.

When I start the RC software then turn on the controller X1 starts at 103. After a few seconds it will go to 33 without any input from me. Voltage is 5.4V.

I am waiting for the GoPro 4 to be released so I don't have the gimbal installed yet.

I did a google search for this problem and found a thread but I restarted my PC hoping that may fix it and I can't find the thread again.

Help?

http://www.phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?t=23621&p=216894 I just followed this troubleshooting now the input value is stuck at 66.

Oh and quick question. Whats the difference between the red and green power LED on the controller? I'll read the manual again to see if I missed that.

Update again...

It seems to work properly when I push hard on it.

I didn't want to but after it started working from pushing on it hard I opened up the controller and got it working by "fine tuning" the position of the POT switch.

I just came across this post and Id like to ask you some questions if I could. I too just received my Phantom 2 with gimbal. I too am awaiting the delivery of a GoPro 3+ camera. I put the phantom together minus the gimbal, I put brand new batteries in the controler but when I turn it on I get now beeps, just a steady red light. When I plug it in to my laptop I can get toggle and get the sliders to move but I also cant get any movement on X1. Any ideas?
