Any chance you popped it open to see if a wire came loose?

So unlucky, probably got alot of people scared now

Nope. I've been putting my buggy back together and dialing it in so i have something to drive to drive at the company picnic later today.

Does it need to be powered on to connect with the CL? I was thinking that one of the leads to/from the switch became dislodged internally. If CL will work when it's off then that theory is bust.

CL works anytime, mine does not work at all. I think the guys in the thread in the castle support section have it right, bec maybe but definitely the low power board.

No, DickyT caught it. It's just as humid here in Houston as Florida, it was all sarcasm. I was being a smart arse!

my mother in law lives in Crosby Tx just outside of Houston, and when I was visiting here I was miserable in that humidity...I am used to the 7% humidity in the desert climate

It's a beach for sure sometimes. Especially Crosby because of all the rice patties and swamp lands near buy. You're also right near the bay too.

The one thing about the humidity is it makes taking a shower fell oh so great!

and you're sweaty again by the time you leave the shower stall....:lol:

My MMM died within a minute as well. No smoke, no burning. Then I plugged in a receiver battery pack. It works. So the switching BEC is the culprit.

It's backordered on CC's website, so I will play it for a months or two before exchangeing. At least I can run it on my muggy now.

I would call them, they will take care of you immediately. i believe you would see the replacement within a week or so. Check with dickyt, he can tell you.

Call Castle, they held a few in reserve to cover possible initial failure. my replacement will ship this week.

Must be stoked. So they are sending you a new unit before receiving the dead unit? :oh: Now that is customer service

yeah, since i bought it direct they have proof that I have one. I will return the broken one in the packaging the new one comes with. Just like the HP and Dell business laptops have., they send you the part you return the defective one on the packaging. you have a certain time to get it done or they charge your account.

I know I was just messing with ya'll.:lol:
