Default futaba 2.4ghz controller

i was just out using my truck... turned the controller off and went to turn it back on because i wasnt done.. and the controller wont turn back on.. the f/s light on back of the controller just keeps blinking and thats it... i replaced the batteries thinking that was it, but its not... everything looks to be connected well... could it be something wrong with the controller? maybe something on the truck? any help would be great!..

its a futaba magnum t3pm 2.4ghz

What colors is it blinking?

Check out page 24 of the manual, it will give you what the blinking lights mean.

If it is blinking green, turning off the controller and turning it back on will take it out of that setting. If it is blinking red and green then that means something is wrong and you should call customer support.

yeah there is no red/green alternate... its just blinking red period.. i open the transmitter up, and i think i seen a little spot on side of the board.. looks to be a little burn but not complete sure about that.

That sucks, recommend sending Futaba an email and seeing what they can do for you. How old is the radio, did you buy it new?
