Default CC BEC FRIED......again!

I have a castle bec that has been repaired once. It stopped providing power entirely but still showed the l.e.d. that is supposed to denote proper function. This has happened a second time and I need to know if I am doing something wrong. I have the cc bec wired in parallel with my main battery (a 2s 1900mah lipo sometimes a 3s 800mah lipo). I have the other cable (the three wire one) plugged into the aux port (not the battery port...that will initiate the reciever to bind mode) on my spektrum ar6000 reciever. The cc bec will not connect via my castlelink to my pc. Also I have put a capacitor on my reciever to smooth out the the voltage and the bec worked perfectly (after the first repair) for over a month then it just failed. No smoke. No sparks. No more power.

I use a AR6000 with my DX7, and use the BATT port without issue. Why exactly do you not use the BATT port?

What was the problem?


Send it back in to castle. What servo are you using? What is the setup otherwise?
