y clues on getting a Neptune going again?

[Trae 1]

I've just replaced the battery in a Neptune (1) but it is now bleating at me quietly every 8 seconds or so and refusing to do anything else.

Nothing happens when buttons are pressed/held/cajoled except for continued beeping

Do I bin it or is there an easy fix?

I don't believe they can fix it if you dropped the hammer.

Have you tried taking the battery out for about 5 minutes and then putting a new one in?

If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

I believe that the answer is that it is stuck in boot loader mode. I have one stuck that way too, but don't have the tools to try and fix it.

Good possibility by the sounds.
Amazing how such complicated little things have such few controls :(

Nope. It's good. I'm sure Alti-2 would love to sell you a N3

If the trade in price was good I'd be interested. otherwise ...I've always wondered what was inside the thing, got the tool and the gravity just have to let go and find out .

After some messy emailing attempts Alti-2 have replied and reuested I send the unit in for repairs .

...so no easy fix but some small joy ....as for $$$ no answer yet.
