Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer
Correction of my post above, apparently the firmware can be an indicator of the improved build quality:
FW 1.10 it is def the "June Version,"
FW greater than 1.10, it is either June or an old version with updated FW. An See kreisl's post #3613 #3.
FW less than 1.10, it is the old version.
Is there any other way to determine whether we have a model with the reinforced posts, short of opening it up?
EDIT, From post #3552, here are ways to determine from just the exterior, whether case is post June 2016 reinforced post model. I think this bears repeating because apparently many vendors are still selling the pre-June 2016 inventory without updated case, and many customers are looking for the post June model
(old model on left, new on right)
1) New Model has shiny Silvery Coating on sliders/rails/metal contacts, and no lube/grease on sliders.
2) Tint of display is less blue (old on left, new on right)- although the model I got has FW 1.03 so old, but the tint doesnt look so blue to me, so maybe this is useless to know unless have both old and new to compare)
3) Recessed Area on bottom for Label Sticker (new case)
Yea me either, but what about the housing. Reinforced pins? I did notice that the display is slightly yellow than the one i originally bought. Mine was blue.
