Hi All,

Need some advise please. I have built my R2-D2 and all the checks during the build were fine. When i power him up he doesnt move (Startup checks). I can connect to him via the app, move his head and do all the other parts (arms,Lightsaber,camera,talk etc). He just doesnt want to move and then i leave him for a couple of minutes and his head spins round and his arms come out. Its almost as if it shorts out. Could it be a connector in the wrong place?? I have double checked this but i am going to take apart and re-do.
The other factor which i have also read about is the Batteries. I got them from the not-so faithful Ebay and they are not a quality brand so i will be looking to replace these although they are the correct specification.

Any Ideas?

The first thing to check is to look at all the connections are in the right place and fully home. Also check for bent pins.

There is a troubleshooting page here to guide you.
