ST 16 not powering up

[kevin swanson]

Out of the blue after months of trouble free flying the tablet in my ST16 will not power up. The blue light comes on with the switch and brightens after 5 seconds, as it always has, but nothing on the tablet and no linking to the aircraft. Anybody have a similar issue? more importantly, if you have, how did you fix it?

I believe I'll wait until the the pro st16 is available before I replace the controller. Till then I guess its the hanger for my H, and back to flying my P4's, P3's and solo's.

Could be your 16 battery died? Mine sat for a week while I played with my P4/3, when it was left on and the battery went so low , I could not charge it back up to even turn on!, A new 16 battery solved that mistake!

Throw it on the charger for 10 hours or more. Hopefully it will come back to life.
May take several minutes before the ST-16 responds to being plugged into the charger.
Can always take a volt meter to the battery to see if it is truly dead 0 volts. If so, then like DC stated you will have to replace it.
