TS8G Jumper won't bind to anything Spektrum!

TS8G Jumper won't bind to anything Spektrum! was created by Nobby
Hi there! 
I'm new to Deviation and thought I'd come here for a little advice.
My Jumper radio won't seem to bind at all to anything remotely resembling Spektrum. I've tried everything now but I'm at a loss as to what may be the problem
I have a feeling that somehow the file system may have been damaged but all the other receivers I have (FRSky, Flysky?, ect) and the Symas and JD509 are fine.
Any thoughts and advice would be much appreciated.
John

Thanks for the suggestion but no:( ...that doesn't seem to work either I'm afraid!
It's not like I don't have a Spektrum radio (DX7s)but it would be nice to have the option to hook up to all my Spek receivers. Binds up to my FrSky and Turnigy /Flysky Receivers no problem. Baffled!

LOL - Nobby your a jinx one of my 10 or so spektrums gave me hell at the airfield today and would refuse to apply throttle.
Weird - I wonder if you've got the issue of the random crystal value on the TX. I just ordered another jumper, so when it gets here I'll look and see if there's a difference between the 2 circuit boards. I still want to solder in a better crystal and see if it makes a difference

LOL Sorry about jinxing you! 
Never heard about the issue with the crystals on the circuit boards but given that my TS8G is one of the later models with a USB connection that I can use without taking the back off the radio, it would seem to make sense. Ahhhh well, another lesson learned. Let us know how you get on with the new TS8G.
Still happy with the Tx and using the Deviation software, in fact it has seemed to been a little easier to get in to it than with my Taranis but maybe the Taranis made my line of thought different!

might be fixable if you're comfortable opening the radio module and diagnosing the problem. Or get a replacement from the vendor.Nobby wrote:

Is this a fixable problem or just one I'll have to live with?
then it's not a problemNobby wrote: Is it really a problem given I have a perfectly good DX7S? To be honest no I don't think it is a problem.

Ok Brett. ..I'll have to get back to you on that as I'm not familiar with how to go about getting the ini file but from what I can gather it's like using Windows so it shouldn't be a problem.
As for sending it back to Gearbest. ...
I'll probably just buy another. It'll be a lot easier! !!

Right Brett....
Seem to have come to a hurdle. It would appear that I have not got the correct size of USB cable needed for the Jumper. I thought I did, but I haven't!
I'll source one from somewhere then I'll upload the ini file for you to have a look at. Not sure what type of USB it is? Seems smaller than the one I use on my quads. Micro USB?

Managed to source a cable for the Jumper and i've copied and pasted the radio files to the desktop.
Now....cant find any file that is called "ini" so what am i looking for?
