Align 2n1 BAD? Smoked and died

[maxxteezy]

I was attempting to start my heli today and the throttle kept glitching as well as the swash, then all of a sudden, the lights on the 2n1 went off, then after I shut off the switch, the bugger started smoking. It seemed like the glitches came when I was pushing the glow ignite button. Any help on why this would happen?

if you let the magic smoke out, the 2n1 is dead.
say a few words and put the thing in the trash.

No reason why , electronics go bad sometimes , just throw it away and get another...???

How old is your 2in1 ? Now think what would have happened if you where flying your heli and it died. http://helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=66923&highlight=2in1+junk Check out this link. Align contacted me via the forums and replaced mine. Thats good service, and in the process they just sold one more Trex 700N as sonn as it comes out. I was going to order a Raptor 90 3D until the Align "trial" period was over but there great customer support changed my mind.
