I bound my receiver for my 9x with the 8ch receiver for the first time yesterday and it took me a little while to figure it out. I also thought I had a busted receiver before I figured out the combination of things to get it working. The following steps worked for me.
1. Make sure the 9x transmitter is powered off.
2. Plug the binding jumper into slot 9 of the receiver. Not sure what slot 10 was for, but it didn't work for binding.
3. Plug your ESC with a motor into slot 3. Make sure the signal wire from the ESC (mine is a white wire) is on the side towards the front of the receiver.
4. Plug a battery into the ESC so that it powers the receiver. I can't remember exactly, but I believe at this point you will see a dim LED blinking under the top of the receiver. It's a bit hard to see it may help if the lights in your room are dim or look from the edge of the receiver.
5. Holding the binding button down power on the 9x transmitter. After a few seconds you should see the blinking LED on the receiver turn solidly on.
6. Turn power off on the 9x transmitter and unplug the battery from the ESC.
7. Remove the binding plug from the receiver.
8. Turn on the 9x transmitter.
9. Plug in the battery to the ESC. You should see the LED turn on solid.
10. Test the binding by throttling the motor on channel three of the transmitter.
The steps above worked for me. If you can't get any of the receivers working I guess you may have a bum transmitter.
