I just finally got around to unboxing and setting up my brand-new TRX-2 that I picked up last week from the Walmart/Ebates deal, and it is TOTALLY dead in the water. The AC adapter is putting out 13.86 volts DC per my test meter but the unit will not power up AT ALL. I tried a reset procedure 2 times that involves disconnecting the power and USB cables from the scanner, removing the front head, removing and re-seating the SD card and then holding the power button in for 30 seconds before reattaching the power cord to the scanner. That didn't work at all. Quality Control in the Philippines must have been asleep at the wheel when this one went by!
Anybody else have any other suggestions to try as Whistler is obviously closed today because of the holiday. I think I may opt to return this to Walmart and have them send me another brand-new one as opposed to sending this to Whistler Repair for repair/replacement. NOTE: This radio must be from an early batch that was manufactured as the serial number is 00015xx and the date code on the back is 6A16 (June 2016) which is when the TRX-2 was released and hit the streets.
