hydra 240hv

[RIPFENCE]

how much does it cost to send a 240hv in for repair? the reason why i am asking is because i have one that i bought off mike martin unused and i cannot get it to work..i have spent hours trying different settings on my radio but there is no sound or life from the 240...all i get is a red flashing led light...i might try to sell it on the swap shop if someone wants to send it in for repair..too bad there is no evidence of smoking on plug in like some have experienced..do not know what to do

Here is a link to the castle creations flat rate repair page. these are the prices for non-warranty repairs. If you can get it covered under warranty then just shipping costs. Give them a call, they have always been very helpful in my dealings with them.

Maybe a stupid resonse but are you using a seperate BEC? HV's are opto and an external BEC or RX pack is needed.
