Hi
I have had a few problems with my R2D2
I have purchased a second set of batteries as recommended by users of the forum
Installed batteries fully charged and all I get is a small jolt forward head rotates in one direction and only a red light
Have checked all cables but in process of stripping back down and going through all wiring again
Can anyone help with my problems pleaseConfused

Hi could you borrow a multimeter to check what voltage you are getting from the battery box leed. Its going to be a process of elimination on this.

Hi
Son in law has checked everything and looks like I need a new battery box and mcu
As showing no outage whatsoever, it’s handy having an electrician in the family
Thanks for your help
