Maybe you can contact whoever you bought it from and ask for a replacement, otherwise you could buy a new board or use seperate components.

Where did you buy it?

Hi, your board is burned out for sure.

Yeah, sounds like your board is busted.

I saw a hack somewhere on this board... Someone posted a reply saying that a defective gyro can causes these problems and that if you peel the silver 'seal' off the gyro and GENTLY push the center part towards the back plate you can revive it. Search the board for Aerohawk and Mixer and you shold find teh post.

You have my sympathy as I got a new Aerohawk just a few weeks back and my board has played up from the start - I've had to send back to the retailer in Hong Kong, so hopefully I will get a replacement but I guess it will take some weeks.

If this does not work out the I'm going to chase up a 3 in 1 piccoboard probably. The suggestion is that these should work and they seem to be more reliable.

Excellent... I hope this 'fix' works for a while. Let us know if you seem to be having long term success with this.

[&o] Sorry to hear that. My new board was doing this also... it would work occasionally. Of course I never pulled the gyro cover - sent it back to the supplier.
