What if the eyes don't light up & will not sync with the controller? I had the quadcoper replaced because of this and this one does the same thing.

good question! when you turn on the quad, you need to hold it LEVEL and it can't move around. this is setting the Gyro. since its on a bearing axis, it will swing around unless you hold the quad still. the box had a little clear plastic holder that you could sit the quad in when initializing the gyro. I just put the skywalker on a table or floor and stabilize a corner of it until the lights come on. I had the same exact issue you did until I figured this out :-) good luck!

Mine won't synchronize but for 4 seconds. It has never worked. I got nothing from amazon or the seller.Still no answer from anyone. Good luck.

after a short time (about a week or so)of playing with , the quad copter and controller wouldn't pair- still attempting to find solution.

I had this problem until I updated the firmware on the remote about two months ago, around July 2015. It changed all the graphics on the remote as well. Much more responsive than it used to be.

I would first check the X4 for any damage, if ok then go back and recalibrate/reset your controls using the owners manual as a guide. That worked for me.

Does the light on the bottom of the copter come on when you hook up the battery? Also does the light on the remote blink and make a beeping noise when you power it on? The remote syncs with the copter upon power up so if the lights on both are on then it's a sync issue. Disconnect the power from the copter, remove then replace the batteries in the remote, power on the remote only and you should see the light on the remote blinking repeatedly as it has nothing to communicate with. Power down the remote for a few seconds and power back on and the light should blink a few times then remain on. This is resetting the sync diagnostics and should work. Then power off the remote, power on the copter and finally power on the remote again. If this still doesn't work then it's more than likely a wiring issue and you'll have to contact the seller for a replacement. I hope this helps.

If you have the timer that is supposed to ramp light up and down, it only works if you have light on full. If you have light set on any other mode it will flicker when ramping on and off. Hope this helps

I have found three possible causes...1) I found the wires on the back seemed loosened. Once tightened everything started working fine but I did have to keep an eye on the wires. 2) The batteries on my remote were dying.3) Light at the end of my remote had something strange on it blocking the ability for the blue ray to pick up the signal. It could also be the remote has a problem with one of the buttons or electronics inside.

Have you changed the photo eye?? If not that is your other choice.... won't know till you try but it is the part that turns light on and off depending on the amount of day light it senses... hope this helps

Hello, my dear friend, please do not be worried, have you pulled out the plastic chip from the battery of the remote controller? Would you please tell us your order ID? We will try our best to resolve the problem for you. Best regards, lemonbest

I've never had that issue. Mine works great with both of my dual shock 2 controllers. It could be that they aren't true sony controllers, or that a button has been configured to be automatically activated. try reconfiguring the buttons and if that fails reinstall the drivers. If that doesn't work, your unit might be defective. also make sure your controller doesn't have stuck buttons inside, I had that happen once, had to take it apart and clean it with windex and cotton swabs.

Aimee, My remote never lit up, except for the small green light under the channel (A/B) switch. That's the battery indicator and I know you've switched the batteries in the remote. It's very possible there's a loose wire/damaged circuit. One of two things you can do. If you're adventurous (and lucky), open up the panels on the remote and look inside to see if there are any loose wires, connections, etc. If you're smart, get in touch with customer service at Amazon. It's possible you received a dud and it just needs replacing. I know it's a hassle but this "toy" is really a lot of fun. Let me know how it goes!

My light did the same thing. I unscrewed the head with the LEDs from the body where the batteries are. I was checking for lose or burnt pieces. After I put it back together it started working and has worked fine ever since. I believe the lights worst problem is little to no quality control at the manufacturer.

I am on my 2nd one..1st did same as yours..no controls and blue light was on...

The rare times the light wouldnt blink for me was because the stick was full or defected. The other times I had to remove and re insert the cassette or push stop and record a few times and hold the light button down a few seconds (dont know why that worked).

Try turning on first Than hand adjust once nuts are loose and aim so that the beam paths slightly touch Good luckObviously works best in the dark

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

Nothing. Mine doesnt sync either. The price paid might aswell buy the actual controller instead of a 3rd party company product.

I had the same problem and found the controller was not connected well. The battery connections are not very user friendly either. I took the motor and connected directly to the battery and it worked. I then checked power out of controller when I forced a turn on, all worked fine. So, it knew it was a bad controller to motor connection. I kept on messing with the connector , controller to motor, and it finally started working. I am talking about the connection inside the hopper that connects motor to controller.
