Are you sure you put the TX batteries in correctly? Can you try plain old alkalines? Otherwise, I would guess you need to contact them. |

You may want to pop the TX case open & make sure they didn't pinch/short a wire internally when they did the reflash. I would follow the wires from the battery tray up to the boards inside.

I still suggest you contact the vendor and let them know (include your serial number of the radio). That way, if it did hurt something, they have a record of it. Hope all is OK though.   | |
