tub is 6 years old to the day, yes, covid buy.

wife called me today and said the display is not showing anything, pumps are cycling for filtering, were definetly working 2 weeks ago when i was home.

anyone run into this? just a bad display or more internal?

ima electrial enginerd/contractor, just asking if anyone has run into issues with a bad display, as i am away from home until wednesday, if i see the display is a common problem, i'll order it now so its there when i get home next week.

any insight/help, is greatly appreciated

so i picked up one of the QAV S2 5" digital ready Josh Bardwell kits from getfpv, so far so good but a few hiccups.

first, i got a walksnail avatar GT kit, wont fit under the supports supplied with the kit due to the fan making the VTX too tall by about 3mm so had to order taller 25mm ones, which this leaves the camera mount not secured in the notches of the top piece of carbon fiber, not sure how im going to fix that probably shim it a bit on the bottme and top so the cam mounts, where the tabs are located, are not going to be fully into the carbon fiber, i gotta work this out.

kit came with the Xilo Stax 50A F4 AM32 ESC AND F4 FC, now i noticed the GT kit requires 11.1v - 25.2v, does anyone one know if 12v is available on the FC? since i've googled hi and lo and cant find the info, or, does anyone know if the avatar GT will work on 10v that i know is available on the FC, since Josh points it out in the video that is linked to the kit of getfpv's site.

i did notice that getfpv does recomend an external voltage regulator for this cam, which i did get, should i just use power direct off the battery and the voltage regulator?

also, the Cadx camera that comes with the kit fits like crap in the cam mount, furthest back holes, of which i can only use 1 on each side, but furthest back holes and cam lens is still sticking out quite a bit, that will be a pricey bumper.

also, and i think this is a big one, josh does NOT show a capacitor being installed in the video on this one, i understand the linked video is 2 years old, so i can get past the VTX issue since its a newer cam, but fuck i spent $1600 total at getfpv (kit, charger, batteries etc) getfpv could mention "hey this stuff does not work together" or something.

i am assuming i need the capacitor?

any help in advance for this not so n00b, just first build with some of this hardware.

thanks in advance
