RX2/3 - "check battery"/Wismec QC

[ghostrider1971]

Morning guys,

I posted a thread a little while ago about my RX2/3 going wonky.

I tried to get it going again yesterday and keep getting a "check battery" message. I updated the firmware and got the same. I then checked online and many others have had the same issue. The solution offered was a soldering job. I am certainly not willing (or able!) to do this - I think the quality control from Wismec is pretty shoddy to be honest.

Equally, FT are selling the RX2/3 for 30 quid or so.

Does anyone know if the ones selling now are better on the QC or still best avoided?

ghostrider1971 there are some videos on the fix that's one of them, perhaps some kind sole here with the skills could help.

In all honesty I would probably skip the RX 2/3 and get the new GEN3, the 510 on this is different and its a really solid piece of kit! I bought mine as a mod only and had zero issues with it so far

Flipping heck ghostrider1971, you're having a run of rough luck with the old mods there.

Hope you can get it going.
