Told myself: if that works... Had several issues: LS was setting Trim T3, Trim T3 did not work, Radio switched off itselfs randomly. Tried several Firmwares like OpenTX, EdgeTX, older Version, newer ones - nothing did work! This realy small workaround did it! Now I am able again to take the radio "for a flight without Failsave" (I am the Master of Failsave now! Have you ever seen your Copter flying at 10ft, waiting for empty LiPo?). Thanks a lot, you saved my TX16s from Rubish!

thanks a lot, really helped !!!

This also works on the Jumper T16 with the same issue. :)

Hey, so my issue is that it turns on for a brief second in Emergency mode but turns off almost instantly. Barely long enough to see the emergency mode screen. Any ideas? Was this the same thing you had? or did yours stay on and not turn off but just emergency mode? Thanks!

Ive put up with this since the radio came out 3x now done the ribbon cable as you have shown(explained!),i used many ribon cables in the past from phones etc..,i emailed radiomaster they sent me some dodgy file that worked supprisingly but i needed an update.....in the end i bought there li ion 2s battery,filthy price anyway,it fixed my problem..possably it was a combo of cleaning and forking out more after module radio battry n time,then i went n busted my back,lol.hopefully for everyone (im always unlucky) this video is the fix it did work the first time for me, then i had to use there file again .i updated today forgot to charge the battery,now wasting my 4th hour hope it works again after seeing that dreadfull EMERGENCY MODEshuts down...thanx 4 listeninng to my frustration and good on ya mate for sharing!Peace n God bless!

I found out that if you make some changes in your themes, some files can get corrupt and than it can go into emergency mode. Im really sure about this (in my case) because if i deleted the specific theme, the problem was gone. Then i placed it back, the problem came back inmideatly.

That would make an epic tinywhoop race location!!!

such a dope flight man. Love the cloud dancing.

Before you go down a rabbit hole and disassemble your radio, power down and pop the SD card out and reinsert. That solved the problem with mine running Edge 2.7.

You would have a hey-day at Christmas in color. Lot's of tunnels. 👍😎

Merry Christmas!

Very cool. 👍

Nice!

Hey! I'm from People are Awesome, an LA-based media company. We saw your video and we'd love to share it with our 200 million fans! Send me a message for more info!

It worked for me too but be very gentle with the lock bar, they are fragile and it could mean a pcb replacement.

Just to add, I have had TX edge on mine for few months, I was changing models and locked up, went into emergency mode. I was about to dismantle and thought I would take out the SD card and re-seat. This did it for me! :)

This fixed mine too but my cable had gold contacts and looked perfect. I didnt even clean them just pull out and put in. I think it might be related to battery backed ram on the daugter board. Did anyone try and pull the button cell after using a new SD card. ( because Sd card may be corrputing the memeroy write my bricked after changing default model name

Thank you so much, it worked for me as well. My Radiomaster was even working a year+ before I got that issue.

Cleaning the ribbon did the trick ! Thanks you so much for the time you take to save our time and our radios ! :-)

Dude, this is so sick!

So good man.

Nice job getting it back!

Thanks for the ride 👍. Lexington arch would be cool to fly by.

Haha I love the stuff you kept in at the end!

I would ski that! Nice flying!

In my case it helps only for few minutes - hours. I'm starting to think that maybe ribbon cable is defective.

Thank you, you saved my life and my TX16s :)

That's an incredible video. I was there last weekend.

Fixed my tx16s flashed with EdgeTX. Thank you so much!

Mine turns off when I turn on external / cf and then starts in emergency mode and goes right back off. Do not think it is the cable. But who has the problem you can try to stick on the back of the ribbon cable some scotch tape for more contact.

Hey izzlate, thanks a lot for that video. I had the same problem, never thought that it would work for me as I never opened a radio, gave it a try as it was the only chance left and ... IT WORKED! So thanks a lot - you saved my TX16s!

Spectacular !

ok, hear me out. upload this as a vr video, oh dang.

Thanks for the solution. You just helped me fixed the tx16s. Not quite sure what was wrong with the ribbon cable, as it looked clean. Anyway, I cleaned with alcohol, and everything worked again :)

Thanks but hasn't fixed mine.

Very nice

Fixed my problem also ! this video is gold!!!!

Thanks my friend .it works for me too.

Dope video. I’m from Idaho, drove there today to fly it and it has no trespassing signs everywhere and the road is gated off. I should have taken my chances but there was a ton of hunters in the area I didn’t want them to snitch me out.

Thanks it fixed the problem.

Its just not work for me 😞😔

My TX16S recently and unexpectedly began to display Emergency Mode and would not function. The cure was to remove and reinstall the ribbon cable, which resolved the problem, similar to 2:13 of this video. The ribbon cable can be a bit troublesome to reinstall and a gentle touch is needed to reseat the cable into place. It took me a few tries before the ribbon cable was realigned and reseated into place. When reseating the cable, you can feel the black cable connector “pop” into place. Just go slow and easy.

Thanks it fixed the problem.

Glad you got it back! And its a good deal to just lose a ND filter and get your quad back. I broke a lot of ND filter within the last weeks. 👍

Nice whooping action! Well done! 🍻

I found it! I hadn’t ever seen this one somehow

Thanks ! it saved me !

Sot tired of this radio just dying for no reason at all. When it's working, it works great. When it stops working, you're phvcked. All you get is bouncing chicken feet and nothing else, no emergency mode, no boot loader mode. I've already RMA'd this unit once. They "fixed it", sent it back with old firmware, so I flashed it, booted to new firmware and my old settings on SDcard once, then after that... nothing but dead unit and chicken feet. Think is I just flashed my other TX-16s with same firmware 5 minutes earlier without a problem, so it's not like I don't know what I'm doing :-/

Hi. Today I came home and I heard low voltage warning from storage box. Radio turned ON by itself. I cannot be turned OFF permanently. It turns OFF, starts to quietly buzz and comes back ON by itself. After re-plugging battery it went to Emergency mode (without touching button). After powering OFF, it came ON by itself to normal. My flat cable contacts were clean. I cleaned them anyway by ispropyl and seated them carefully. First boot also went into Emergency mode. But after first normal turn OFF and ON everything seems to be ok. Now I am bit suspicious about my radio dependability.....

Thank You very much!!! :-) I also have received yesterday from Banggood a new TX16s with the same problem, continue boot in EMERGENCY MODE after first shutdown. I have try to remake the SD card with default data, reflash original firmware...no resolution.... Only with your guide of cleaning contacts of master flat cable I have reach the solution !! :-) :-) SUPER !!!!
