What SD card did you replace the old one with ?
Not that it should make a difference.
Mode 1 and 2 can be switched in the RC assistant if you accidently click the wrong one, mode 2 is usual with the throttle on the left stick, mode 1 uses the throttle on the right stick.
Do you have two little flashing lights at bottom left of the remote controller software? if not , you are not actually connected. You will need to download the DRIVERS first, then the software..
