Thanks a lot, it has fixed the problem for me as well. The main problem is that I have lost my trust in this radio. I am wondering when this issue will occur during a flight? What is the experience of yours? After cleaning the cable, have you experienced the same after a while?

@propsoff 2 года назад

I should make an update... Thanks I have had zero issues and I turn my radio off and on many times a week. Whether it be for Sim, 5in racing, freestyle, or a couple times a week for whoop racing, I am constantly messing with it. I have not had a single issue since that day I made this video and cleaned the ribbon cable. I filmed the repair and waited a full month before sending it out (to verify). I've been involved with 6 personally, and no issues so far. All that said, I totally understand your hesitation. I took me a few flights to get comfortable again.

@beastehful Год назад

I "fixed" my TX16s by following the steps in video, although it took a couple of power on/off cycles after I reassembled everything before it booted normally. I say "fixed" in scare quotes because although it seems fine now, I've been having intermittent issues with the radio randomly powering on by itself, other times booting into emergency mode and then eventually returning to normal multiple times in the first 2 weeks I've owned it. Everything looks good now but I won't be surprised if problems return. I would like to think I was unlucky in getting a dodgy unit but there are enough google search results regarding such issues that I'm starting to think that although these radios are powerful and affordable, their weakness is quality control and reliability. So far every problem has arisen from powering on/off the radio, but I shudder to think what could happen if an emergency reboot happened in flight. If I can't fix it myself I'll have to return the unit to the retailer, who might choose not to replace a unit that has been taken apart

@propsoff Год назад

I appreciate your feedback and please return here to update me. I'm trying to keep track of how many people polish and reseat their ribbon cable and are successful. I personally have been involved with a half dozen radios that had issues like yours and probably more than a dozen on Facebook. So far, only two of them needed a main board replacement (depending if I received feedback).. I will hope you have the same success that I've witnessed... I have gone to the Zorro as my daily driver and its been months since I've held my TX16S's. My figures are crossed...🤞🏼

@RS_ Год назад

Ok, this is very interesting and I tel, you why:) I had this issue... almost every day. Basically I found a way to make it hapen. All i needed to do is quickly press touch screen many times (going through menu) and this would happen. Also its started happening more often after i uploaded loads of model images and started using them. To try and eliminate the problem i have then deleted most of my model images and indeed it was much better, but still happening. Then i just decided to upgrade the firmware to the latest ( beta version) and since that moment the problem is gone!. Ive even reuploaded all my model images and its already 2 weeks i havent had this problem... not once

@propsoff Год назад

Interesting, you touched nothing physically? Simply update the firmware. I've worked on 7 Radiomasters now (cable clean and reinstall) and not had any issues. I wish Radiomaster would come out with user tech bulletins. Please, keep me updated of your result...🍻

@andyMSH700 9 дней назад

problem about alcohol is it leaves a residue on the connectors so is not good to use....a fibre glass brush is what you need as it is like fine sand paper and cleans back to original.

@propsoff 9 дней назад

@@andyMSH700 I did use the fiber glass pad, the alcohol is 91% and doesn't seem to be too bad under the microscope. It's more to cut any oily residue (possibly from the gimbles). I'll look a bit closer next time since you brought that up .. I appreciate your feedback...🍻

I don't know any of the EdgeTx Devs. Lame request but, a request all the same. Can they add in a splash screen time setting for EdgeTx? I converted over to EdgeTx a week or two ago, and I created an awesome splash screen. I barely get to see it so, I can't show it off. Love your tutorials!

@propsoff 6 месяцев назад

That's a tuff one, only because I loath shipping, lol.. I would probably have them replace it. The Emergency Mode issues I've been involved with (more than a dozen) have led to the main board being the issue.. So yeah, I would vote replacement...😔 Sorry you too have to deal with this issue, 2 of my 3 Radiomaster radios had this happen. One was fixed via ribbon cable scubbing and never had it again. The other radio needed a main board, which I replaced (not hard, just time consuming).. Let me know if you will of your outcome...🍻

@serkandemirguc6875 2 года назад

Hello, I connected my Tx16s remote with a type c cable today, pressed the sd card option and got the card information. I changed the boot sound and boot image. I unplugged the cable and turned the remote off. When I want to turn it on again, the Emergency mode text comes and goes for 2 seconds. It remains so. There is a clicking sound coming from the speaker while opening. can you help me how can i solve it, it happened to me for the first time.

@propsoff 2 года назад

Did you follow the instructions in this video?

@propsoff 2 года назад

Did you go back in and change the boot image and sound back to what it was and remove your files? The boot image and sound have to be named 6 or under characters in the file and sounds are wave format. I've had 3 people in the field with "Emergency Mode" popping up for no apparent reason. The ribbon cable clean (reseat) worked every time.

@gregorpesek Год назад

For me the emergency mode only pops up when I try to turn off the radio every now and then (1 out of 20 turn off's). it's a bit annoying but cant be bothered doing that process right now, but thanks for showing us the potential fix 😅

@propsoff Год назад

I've had 7 radios now that I fixed. The "Emergency Mode" issue will eventually shut it down, just a matter of time...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

@gregorpesek Год назад

@@propsoff Just saw your reply. yeah after realizing that it also affect the temporary switch and will make it act as the power button I got a bit skeptical and fixed it. but 1 annoying thing happened when fixing it (or maybe it was already there but I just didn't realize it). 3 pins on the ribbon cable lifted half way and were bent 180 degrees after putting it back in place.so now I bent them back and I can only hope they are put in properly. Since then I didn't had the emergency mode happening..

@propsoff Год назад

@@gregorpesek They have an upgrade ribbon cable (Black and Gold instead of the V1 White and Blue), and it's easily accessible. Nearly all the FPV stores carry it. I think I linked it in the description. My main thing with doing this video is a few guys were saying they were told to buy a new main board, that troubled me, knowing it most likely was just the cable. When it comes to my gear, I try to eliminate temporary fixes or "bandaids" - I try... 🤣

Very good question; Also, slightly ironic. Just recently, I was flying with a buddy and he owns a newer version of the T16S. He has the upgraded ribbon pre-installed from the factory. He actually had the "Emergency Mode" issue while I was there with him and I proceeded to instruct him of the fix (remove, clean, reinstall). He has flown many times with zero issues.
