Default Need help Please!!

I updated my 3G unit from V1 to V2,1 today and now setup mode is giving me problems, as soon as I go into the Elev Direction setting the swash tilts totally to the right, the same thing happens going into the Ail Dir setting.

Any ideas?

Why dont you try updating to version 2.0 and see if it still happens. I had problems with 2.1 myself and went back to 2.0. Version 2.0 file can be found in the align folder where the program installed.

This happens when it hasn't entered setup mode correctly.

Ensure the status LED is solid green once you enter setup mode.

Tried just about everything. It also does not initialize at all. Tried my other 3G Unit sensor and then it works, seemed like the 3g Sensor is now faulty after the update.

Was the sensor & control unit updated independently?
You can't have them both connected at the same time while updating.

Jip, did them exactly as per the instruction. Updated both my FBL systems yesterday morning, the first unit was V2 updated to V2.1 with no problems, the second was V1 updated to V2.1 but does not work since the update.

I looked around, but could not find the 3G electronics for sale seperately.

Does anyone know whether the electronics are avalable seperately or if Align is planning on selling these seperately?

I don't want to go and buy a whole 3G system, just need the sensor....

Ebay? Check the classified sections here and on other sites too.
You location may be an issue since some peeps won't ship overseas
