DCS REMOTE

First action is to double check that batteries are properly seated.

I have done that and replaced with new batteries.

Mark,

Does it power up at all?

No it does not power up at all.

I suggest the following as a simple first step:  Turn off the remote.  Open the battery case.  Apply a DC voltmeter to the battery pack, the + at one end and the - at the other, so that you read the voltage of the 4 combined.  It should be about 6 volts if you have alkaline, about 4.8 if you have NiCad or NiMH.  Without removing the voltmeter, turn on the remote.  What happens to the battery voltage?  It should not drop substantially.  If it does, there could be either short in the remote or one battery is bad.

If it drops only slightly, I suggest trying to reload the upgrade.  What happens?

RJR I have done this and it drop very little. I have change the batteries with four different ones. These are new batteries. It still does not turn on.   

The fact that the voltage drops a little means that something inside is powering on.  I'm wondering if something hsppened during upgrade process that left it hung up.  I am told this can happen when programming a computer.  Have you tried to restart programming?

 try reloading the software again. How far can you get?

I will try to reload the program.

Take a battery out for a second or 2 to make sure the remote is in the off position before starting.

Everyone thank you very much for your help. I reloaded the program and the remote now comes on. Thank you, Mark

You're welcome.  Glad to hear the problem is solved.

Gentlemen,

   This is one of the reasons the OGR is so great!  The knowledge gained from the members is just top shelf.
