Hi sailors,

If your Spektrum DX6 controller has been outfitted with a more powerful internal rechargeable battery, you will likely find that sooner or later the internal .3 amp fuse will open up on you. The symptoms are that of a completely dead controller but is easily brought back to life by replacing the internal fuse after removing the battery and the six screws holding the back of the controller in place.

Unlike some other controllers, (read Futaba 2DR), the unit is easily reassembled after repair.
