It broke where you connect the main battery. The pin just came out. Does any one know where we can send it to be fixed. Il put version 11 of the master code on it. But the strange thing is when we radio it with our radio it works fine.
As I remember, 2004 modems do not work on 2005 field controls also 2004 modems cannot be used with 2005 RC or OI. Check IFI website.
The power input to the both the RC and the OI is the same design but both are subject to fail when abused. Either can be returned to IFI for repair. It is possible to damage the board if the metal was pulled out. Let IFI have a crack at it, call them for a repair authorization.

From the IFI website..."The new master code will only upgrade the Robot Controller. There is no way for you to upgrade the 2004 Operator Interface. The 2004 OI is somewhat compatible with the upgraded RC and you should not see a difference. The 2004 OI will not work correctly with the new Arena Controller and can not be used at FIRST competitions."
