Hi,

On Thursday I popped down to the field and flew a couple of packs through my Copterx 450 using my DX7. I came home and later flew a couple of packs on my Trex 250 (obviously changing the model in the meantime), however when I turned my DX7 on tings went a bit strange.

I turned on the Tx holding down the buttons, changed model, turned off and on, flipped on Throttle Hold and plugged the battery into my Trex 250 (all OK so far). I went outside, out the 250 on the floor, turned off TH and gave some throttle - rather than the usual smooth slow start the motor tried a couple of times to turn, but just stuttered. I took off the canopy and battery and tried again - same thing. So far I thought that I had an issue with my 250 or the battery so I went back inside and turned off the DX7 and turned it back on - the screen display was upside down !!!!!

All of the letters and pictures were inverted and the lines normally at the top were at the bottom etc. - just as if someone had flipped the screen around 180 degrees !!!. Has anyone else seen anything like this ? Should I be worried ?.

I have subsequently put a couple of batteries through (1 on the CX450 one on the T250) without any problems. Any ideas ??.

Thanks,
Mike.

Upside down thing is normal, but rare. Cycle power to fix.

hahaha! I would totally freak out if my DX6i did that! Does everything preform in reverse if the DX7 boots like this?

I was more interested in panicing I'm afraid

I would be too... though I just cycled my DX6i about 150 times trying to see an upside-down screen :P
