Default Tx stopped working ?

Been on a hiatus for a few months, picked up my hyper 7 and got it back out to run and everything was working so I charged the receiver pack and took it out, it seemed weak so I took it in and charged it for a hour. Now when I went to cut my trans back on it wouldn't work, no lights or anything. And usually it kinda makes a hum when I switch the receiver to on and it's not doing that anymore either. What the heck would make all this happen all the sudden?

Ok warmed the batteries in the tx, they are brand new btw. Tax is working now. Throttle servo is working but steering isn't working?

Still can't get steering servo to work and the adjustments on the tx won't move the throttle servo either

steering is the first channel, throttle is the second channel.

I'm not familiar with that receiver, but if it is like the majority of them, it should have little numbers by the plug ports. Saying 1, 2, 3, ….(however many there are ) one for each channel. Are you plugging it into #1, as in the video you said #3.

I would have to say that the steering servo is burnt out then.

Any idea why it would burn out all the sudden? Or doesn't it just happen from time to time?

Most of the time the amplifier in the servo will go if it takes a current the wrong way, such as pluging in backwards
