# Basic VTX hardware troubleshooting:
# VTX troubleshooting:

The Red LED is a simple indicator of power status and should be ON solid during normal operation.

- If the Red LED is Off, dim, or flickering: Test power input to VTX is stable at expected voltage and within input voltage tolerance of VTX.

The Blue LED provides these status indications:

- flicker 3x after boot indicates MSP signaling is detected.
- OFF = camera lost (check camera and cabling)
- ON/OFF @ 1hz = heat protection
- ON/OFF @ 4hz = 0MW pitt mode active
- ON/OFF @ 2hz = 0.1mw pitt mode active
- Flashes quickly 2 times per second = RF chip(dm6300) failure
- ON solid = VTX operation normal

If both Red and Blue LEDS are on solid but no video signal is detected by VRX:

- use spectrum analyzer (available on some analog VRXs) to verify VTX RF output on correct channel.
- use a PAT version of firmware for your specific VTX to verify RF output from VTX and test patern signal is received by VRX.

The test pads on the VTX can also help verify some segments of the VTX cricut. eg: pad labeled 1v8 should be approximately 1.8 Volts.
For troubleshooting the VTX, refer to
