More data please. How old is it? Is this a brand new controller? Approximately times have you charged it? Or is it over a month old and the battery working before OK, but all of a sudden it stops functioning, stops taking a charge?? Did you double check all the connections to the charger, AC cord? Sometimes I find the DC connector into the RC needs to be pushed in extra hard on mine.

Hey John, brought in Feb. Used not even a handfull ammount of times to practise. Brought it with me from NZ to Aus to get videos of seeding. Used yesterday working fine had half charge. Went to use it this morning now theres nothing. No sound or LEDs, checked the charger its definatly working on the drone battery itself.

Charged controller only around 3 or 4 times. Always let it almost completely go flat before i recharge it. And recharge it not long before use

I assume the AC power in the wall is the same between NZ and Aus, correct? If it's charging the craft batteries OK, it should charge the RC battery too. Puzzling. It would be helpful if you could find another RC to try charging it with your charger, just to confirm it's your RC that's broken, and nothing in the charger wiring, such as a broke or disconnected wire internal to the barrel connector (highly unlikely). Trying your charger on another RC will tell you where the problem is, but I'm guessing it's the RC.

Just as i feared, and as you can imagine im a long way from civilisation. Three hours either way ( thats a big distance for a kiwi) and when i picked it up from noel leeming they said receipt is in the box. And i had no time before i flew to go get it. So no proof of purchace or warranty.
