I have a Turnigy 9X in which I have installed a FrSky DJT/V8FR-II combo. I was able to bind the transmitter and receiver easily the first time I tested it out. Now I am seeing some strange issues:
1. The 9X transmitter turns on fine by itself, but when the FrSky module is installed, the transmitter screen will not turn on. The module LED is on and the buzzer is going off, but the transmitter display is blank.
2. The 9X display will turn on if the bind button on the module is held down when powering on the transmitter.
3. The receiver has a very weak connection to the transmitter from a couple feet away. The status LED toggles from a connected state to disconnected frequently without any movement of the transmitter or receiver.
I am not sure if the issue is with the FrSky module or the 9X transmitter. I am considering ordering a replacement 9X with the Turnigy module. Does anyone have any insight into the issue?
I was hoping to get my first arducopter up and running this weekend but its not looking so great.

That a bit difficult to guess what could be the issue. If the radio turn's on with the removed. You could guess it the FrSky module. But it's not conclusive.
What battery are you using? is the connector still good? or the connection to the board? (pressing the bind button might just be helping with a loose connection)
