Default RE: Spektrum DX6i no longer working - Guidance Needed

What is the tx voltage reading? I'm pretty sure it would give you a low voltage warning before it quit functioning. The tx batteries can take hours to charge, but BE CAREFUL. There's no automatic shut off. I always take the battery cover off to check the batteries now and then if they are getting warm, indicating they've had enough. And I also unplug and turn it on to see the voltage. The highest I've seen is 5.5v but it drops off pretty quickly and stabilizes a bit lower.

I was thinking about DSM2/DSMX compatability in case you had an older tx, but Spektrum's site says "DSM2 transmitters are forward compatible with DSMX receivers, and DSMX transmitters are backward compatible with DSM2 receivers." Don't think that would be an issue.

Time for a stupid question from me: You're selecting the correct model memory in the tx for each rx?
