Re: Camera Short Circuit?
It is possible that the camera is shorted, but don't assume that yet. Do the following checks after you install the washers on the assembly.
1) Without connecting the Power PWM cable, verify that the RC has a fully charged 7.2 V battery connected.
2) With the RC powered on, using a DVM, verify that 7.2 Vis available on the PWM connectors on the RC. If not, replace the fuse in the RC.
3) Connect the PWM cable to an unused PWM connector on the RC and verify that 7.2 V is present on the Male pin end of the cable. If not, replace the PWM cable.
4) Plug in the PWM cable to the camera power connector, correctly oriented. Turn the camera on by sliding the power switch up.
5) Green light on camera? In not, your camera is most likely dead.
