Problem with syma x5cw

[leforthomas]

Hi,

I bought a Syma x5cw. It worked fine until I tried to use the camera. I used the camera button as per instructions and no video was taken and more annoyingly the drone stopped working at once. If I turn on/off the drone, the (green and red below the body) lights are always off, no blinking nothing EXCEPT the camera lights which are fine. I first thought it would be battery related, but I fully charged it, but to no avail.

Anyone has experienced this before? any solution?

Thanks,

Thomas

If you unplug the camera will it now fly?

Nope, tried this as well. Thanks.

I would try to re calibrate...Most transmitters need to be in high rates then its either both sticks to the lower left or lower right to re calibrate the board...usually you will see the lights flashing when its re calibrated then it will stop.

If you unpluged the the camara while the quad was on you probably shorted the quads board you may need to replace it. Not very expensive at least but will require some work and soldering.
