Incorrect - if a newsagent customer, the Newsagent should be able to organise foc replacement as your contract of sale lies with the newsagent. Incorrect - not always The newsagent is obliged under the contract of sale and therefore if asked they have to oblige.

Ok a quick update i have swapped out the MCU for another one there's a slight change to the out come on start-up R2 does the same as before jumps forward no head rotation and a RED light however unlike before when i manually rotated the head nothing happened, but this time when i rotated the head from one side to the other and back to centre the RED light changed to BLUE, i have checked the dome motor separately and it works with the test cable so why it doesn't work when connected to the MCU i'm at a loss i have checked the cables themselves by buzzing them out there ok i checked the connections all correctly labelled all correctly orientated all fully seated in there sockets, maybe there's something wrong with the motor that the test cable doesn't pick up but the MCU doesn't like, i may have to get a new dome motor but not sure any one got thoughts on that? i can get R2 in to patrol mode and i can get the arms to extend, but the lightsaber doesn't work so i dismantled R2 so i could use the test circuit boards again but for some strange reason the lightsaber motor doesn't work and i dismantled the motor from the rack just in case it had become jammed which it wasn't, i did test the lightsaber motor as in issue 53 and it worked then so i'm stumped as to why it's not working now? i may have to get a new motor for that as well any one get any ideas as i can't keep assembling and disassembling R2 the cables can't take much more of it!!! i'm open to any suggestions

Ok in the app your batterys are showing fully charged on the meter. Could you try reinserting the casting that locks into the head motor and the head in a different position to where it is now. for example try a quarter of a turn a couple of times to see if it makes a difference. Someone reported that sometimes the lightsaber motor wires may need checking along with the correct orientation of the cog and slot that the motor powers. Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

I haven't got round to using the app yet but battery's are fully charged using the charger supplied i have already tried the casting in different position it makes no difference, head doesn't move on start-up I've removed the lightsaber motor form the assembly completely and tested it in isolation, and i had checked that the cog wheel had meshed with the teeth on the rack before i test it in issue 53, I've had a look at the wires to the lightsaber motor the look fine bit difficult on the end where the wires are glued to the motor terminals but looks ok

Reorder a replacement head motor from C/S. Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Try testing the wires from the light saber back to the circuit board if all is ok there check the multi plug conection between the circuit board to the MCU. Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Wire from the lightsaber to the circuit board looks ok Multi plug connection which i assume is the one with the pair of red and white connectors and held in a cable tidy has been checked, i buzzed it out to check for continuity between both ends and it checked out ok

Yes I have have the same problem, a dead drone. I used the correct batteries, (unprotected) However, from the moment I finished, then went through the correct battery charging instructions, including the correct start up sequence, my RD2 unit was completely dead! After checking and triple checking the wiring, battery connections, power supply and any thing else I could think of, yes its still dead.
So I have emailed DeAgostini to request a replacement MCU as this can only be what the problem is. I have heard that other builders have had faulty MCU's so lets hope this will sort, otherwise this has been a total waist of 2 years.
Thanks,
Karl
