Backlight fades out after 10 seconds
Posted: Tue Nov 05, 2013 2:22 pm
Hi folks, got a quick question regarding the backlight mod.
Done the prerequisite search, but came up with nothing.
I've installed a blue HK backlight as per the guide here: http://openrcforums.com/wiki/index.php/ ... _Backlight
I used a 2N7000 FET as it was what I had on hand (making sure I reversed the D and S connections from what is in the guide).
I've checked all the connections and they're OK, but when I turn the Tx on the backlight comes on as expected, then gradually fades out after about 10 seconds.
Anyone got any ideas what this might be?
I'll see if I can check the backlight panel for correct operation on it's own, and order up a couple of BS170 FETs just in case.
Thanks in advance.
