rc helicopter light flashing Remote Controls Questions

It means that the charged battery is full. Some chargers have a steady glow, others have a flashing light to show that the battery is charged. When you run the helicopter, is the battery fully charged, does the helicopter blades spin flat out? If so, the battery is charged and the flashing light indicates the battery is charged. If the battery isn't charged or the blades don't spin enough to lift the helicopter, or fly for some time, then the battery isn't charged and the charger may be faulty. Take it to a hobby shop to see where the problem lies, the charger and its blinking light, or the battery.

If the green light is not coming on, it is not charging.

Mine has also done this. The charger units for these helicopters are mass produced and therefore have a failure rate. I pugged mine in to the mains supply today and it sounded different, as in it 'popped'. The LED failed to light. When I plugged it into my models battery, it went green, even though the battery was low in voltage.

I metered my charger output and it is dead. My S031 is only two weeks old but to get to the shop is a nightmare so I may just open it up and repair it myself (I'm fine with electronics). However, I am not sure if my new battery pack is okay or not, so I run the risk of visually voiding my charger warranty. I have had issues with all of my Syma models and may just get a refund and move on to swashplate 6ch+ machines.

If your charger/S031 is new, I would suggest you return it to the store you purchased it from. Electronics this day and age are a joke and the quality control used is appalling, especially in cheap Japanese models alas.

The charger is sealed and will need to be broken open to access the electronics. Dangerous voltages are inside so I'd suggest you just return it for an exchange.

If using usb charger use usb port on back of desktop, not data port in front, also most laptops do not have fully powered usb ports due to battery consumption. The wall charger, or a usb charger plugged into a usb/ac adapter (like included with ipods and kindles or sold seperately) is your best bet for reliable charge.
Charging unit should have a light on it.
When charger is plugged into power source and not helicopter, the light will show you {#1} what it looks like when battery is fully charged. Typically this is steady on, and usually red. (sometimes green) When you connect helicopter to charger, the light will change (usually goes dark) to signify it is charging {#2}. When light comes on fully (or completely returns to #1) then charging is done. (Note: charging using a laptop usb or a front side data port usb can take several hours.) Watch the light on charging unit when you unplug helicopter, if it gets brighter, helicopter is not charged, plug it back in. Make sure to let battery cool for 10 minutes after every charge and 10 minutes after every flight, and never run battery all the way down. As soon as you can't maintain altitude, land and power off. Fully draining a Li/Po battery weakens it's ability to hold a charge and can ruin it.
If all else fails, replacement batteries are available from Amazon and many others, they are cheap (around 5$) and very easy to install with no soldering and just a small screwdriver.
Hope this helps

I purchased this item for my grandson for Christmas.
Right out of the box the chopper would not charge.
Of course I did not find out about this until I asked them how
the chopper working for them.
I purchased this from Sam's Club on line what do I need to do
to get this repaired or replaced.

I just bought one for my Grandson and we had to plug in the outlet to the copter first, before pluging in the AC/DC adapter to the power charger. I know the instuctions do not explain it this way, but the green LED charging light would not come on and it would not charge doing it anyother way

As far as the green light on the charger not coming on: after I tested the batteries in the remote, I found that it was due to 2 of the 6 batteries in the remote control being dead (0.1volts) The charger probably sucks the power out of the #1 and #6 battery.

Make sure all batteries in the Remote have the same charge.

Also, there seems to be a loose contact in the charger plug prongs. You will have to find a way to sit the helicopter so that it stays in contact with the prongs while charging. Mine has to be on it's side to keep the green charger light on.

Good luck!
