mine doesnt turn on till i connect a battery with a balance tap on it .what firmware do u have?

Couldn't tell you what version it has. I just bought it from Amain Hobbies a couple of months ago. Although I have all the cables, I have not been brave enough to try and update the firmware yet...the instructions on how to update the firmware are dicey at best

I just went thru that with a FlyCam, had to do it to sync audio and video.
jlustig you might want to contact Hyperion and see if they'll do a swap for a new unit. I love my duo- but I think it sucks the owners of the older versions have to shell ot more $ to get it up to snuff, they easily could have used a standard USB- it's things like that which detract from overall product satisfaction, maybe you could borrow someone's cable?

as soon as you power up your charger it will tell you which version your firmware is on the first screen...
my charger starts up as soon as i turn the power source on without a battery connected
