Thanks

Try swapping the small fuse

I swapped the fuse, still no luck

can you prove your getting power to the IBU2 with a volt meter?

No I can't do that, I don't have one..Ive tested the power supply with two other boards and they both work...

Try unplugging everything except power lead and turn on and see if the green LED flashes.

Then plug in your receiver and see if that lights up to indicate it’s got power.

Right unplugged everything..I've now got the green light and receiver is on, then tried plugging the motors in, but nothing..

Okay, leave motors unplugged. Plug speaker and volume in. With power off, eject the microSD card check contacts are clean and put back in. Now turn on, after a few seconds you should hear a short bit of elevation (or voice if a Pro). If not check the spaeker is and volume is okay (you should get some hiss from speaker). If that is all okay it might be the microSD card not been read, try one from another IBU2 if you can.

ok I heard short bit of elevation, that's all I get, I swapped cards and same..

Right so that proves the IBU2 is reading the microSD card okay. Then if it’s not doing anything with the controller inputs, I suggest running through the radio to IBU2 calibration. It shouldn’t loose it’s settings but worth a try anyway.

Also check the battery is fully charged, I’ve had all kinds of odd issues in past which turned out to be a simple flat battery I thought was okay.
