Brookstone Silver Bullet. The green light on the unit indicates that the helicopter is taking charge, and stays on about 10 minutes. The problem is that it doesn't turn on when I switch the helico
The batteries in the controller are fresh. Before this problem, the helicopter was having trouble staying on. The blue lights flash, and I would have to wiggle the switch to keep it on. If it's a connection problem I could solder it back, but I would need instructions.

I had the same problem with my night hunter Rc hc . And indeed it was a solder joint. I drew diagrams of my hc and noted the position, color, and size of the screws that I removed. Note that I drew additional diagrams after every layer I removed and I numbered the pages so I knew in what order I did this disassembley. I tracked down the wires and found the problem. I didn't even add solder, rather I just reheated the origional solder and let it cool around the wire. ( I also had the wire held in place via alligator clamp. And I also cut the end off the wire and stripped it to expose a clean portion suitable for solder.
