Ok, noobish question here. I have the latest (old blade) revision and for some reason when I connect it, All i hear are a few 'clicks' and then nothing.

 Silly question: Did you perhaps forget to plug in the red fuse ?

The newest (old) blades have no red fuse? or did mine just really freaking ship without one..

My new "old" blade that I received this week came with a red fuse but it was not packed in the boxes with the boards, it was outside the boxes wrapped in plastic bubble-wrap along with the green power adapter. I almost lost them among the rest of the packing in the shipment. Perhaps look closer at the box/packaging.  Otherwise, the 10A fuse is cheap and not difficult to locate at a hardware store or Auto Parts store. A Quick google search finds this picture of the fuse:

Agreed, I nearly lost mine as well.

I have the entire package for my 4x blades on my office floor as arrived. No fuses and no power connectors to be found. Which is pretty bad since I sold 3 of them to friends already. Ugh, I guess I'll try to figure something out.

I believe these are the fuses for the blades.. Oddly they are called "Blade Fuses" !

If you don't have the screw-down Power Adapter you will need to get more creative.

Problem is being solved. Thx for all the help. Slightly embarrassing it took me to ask the forum before realizing parts were missing.
