In reading your posts about Synscan I've come to hypothesise that I am not using synscan, no software updates here.

And I've used ordinary AA's before with no problems.
OK Caleb, your absence had me a bit worried. Now I take it that the voltage you measure (12.7V) is there when the controller is both plugged in and switched on. Is there a rise in voltage as you switch the controller off? What I am trying to establish is whether the batteries are flat. If 12.7 volt is sustained when the controller is on, that should be enough for the controller to operate. If it is not operating then I feel sad.............
The only other concern I have is that the cable which you say has a broken plug, may not be making contact. If you can rule that out, then there is nothing left. Sorry.

Robert
