Thanks for your help guys,
The plastic around the battery connection is fine, no warping or melting everything looks fine. Also tried the Display and nothing.
I tried what you tried Sim, and still nothing.
This is a-feaking-mazing. How does it stop working overight?
Looks like the only option is to miss out on a sh1tload of racing and send it back to Airtronics.

I sold my backup M8 only a few months ago because I thought I'd never need to have a spare radio..

How wrong I was
Might upgrade to the M11S and keep this one as a spare for future mysterious failures.
Thanks Again for your Help guys.
Cheers
Stephen
