I was about to run a few cuts and when I flipped the DRPpros on it did its little display dance as I call it the gave me an error seen in the first picture. The X REF kind of hinted to me it was looking for a reference and didn&#8217;t find it. I figured there may be a battery inside for a reference voltage.<\/p>\n<p>I sent this first picture to DROpros and explained the problem. They agreed it could be a battery or perhaps a diode that failed.<\/p>\n<p>About a week later I shipped the control head back to them. I did peek inside and there IS a battery on the main board. I checked the voltage and under no load it was only half of the voltage indicated on the battery label. Ta-ta&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Just got it back and as you see it is working perfectly again. I didn&#8217;t get a bill for repair or return shipping <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">yet<\/span>. I paid for for sending. I may not get a bill.<\/p>\n<p>The DroPros owner is a veteran and proud of his customer service. As a veteran brother I am proud of his attitude. Good company good product.
