Usually rc electronics are fairly robust, and it just appears you have a dead short (or something connected backwards) in one of the components.

All you can really do is troubleshoot - replacing individual components, one-by-one - until you locate the offending party.



I doubt it.
As with most electronics items, most RC electronics aren't covered under warranty unless they're new out of the box (yours aren't) - especially not all 3 or 4 items. You can try, but don't hold your breath.

I really hope the Orion's indeed have an internal fuse like the topic suggests, it might have saved (some of) my electronics. If it is a fuse though I do wonder how I'm going to get that fixed.
