Drone stopped powering up

[glacial wyvern]

So I was flying a pack, didnt crash or anything and it went fine, then I landed it sort of hard, changed out the battery, and it didnt power up at all, nothing happened

ok so

it does get power thru micro usb

but uh

my FC is flashing red at me

[cyan galleon]

Make sure the power leads are all still intact and soldered to the AIO's pads

otherwise only powering up from USB can mean a dead 5v regulator on the FC

[glacial wyvern]

yup they are

[limber vale]

try anotyher battery

[glacial wyvern]

I did

maybe this will help he has the same problem as you

[glacial wyvern]

I already watched taht one

didnt help

[heady pagoda]

does it connect to betaflight?

[glacial wyvern]

yes

[heady pagoda]

connect it to betaflight and plug tyhe lipo in, then check for this

[glacial wyvern]

where would I see that

wait nvm

yup

[heady pagoda]

so the fc recieves power

[glacial wyvern]

so what could the issue be

[limber vale]

try to tes the motors

[heady pagoda]

Check if you can control the motors

[glacial wyvern]

how do I check if it can

[heady pagoda]

plug in lipo
go to motors tab
chec the "i understand the risks"
and drag the sliders up
PROPS OFF

[glacial wyvern]

lemme take the props off one sec

doesnt work

does that mean the ESC is dead?

[heady pagoda]

do you have video signal?

[glacial wyvern]

lemme check

no

[heady pagoda]

the fc is prop dead than

do you have a spare fc or smt?

[glacial wyvern]

wdym prop dead

[glacial wyvern]

nope

[heady pagoda]

sorry meant probably XD

[glacial wyvern]

aaaa

whyy

what wouldve killed it

it worked before

[heady pagoda]

harsh landing

[limber vale]

luckily the fc is not that expensive

[glacial wyvern]

ima just

see if I can return it or something

it has caused me alot of issues and I shouldve jsut payed more for a drone

[limber vale]

true enough i actually have a baby ape too

[heady pagoda]

if you can return it i can recommend the crux35

[limber vale]

or the tinyape https://darwinfpv.com/products/tinyape-freestyle

[glacial wyvern]

nah

the tinyape is too tiny

[heady pagoda]

fair enough, but its good for what its made for. Flying in small spaces

[limber vale]

or if you want just save up a little more to a 5 inch nazgul v2 its about 300$

nazgul 5 v2*

[glacial wyvern]

if I had the money I would get a Geprc Mark 5

[heady pagoda]

Crux35 is probably good for u

[limber vale]

one questin did you do turtle mode wile you where flying

[glacial wyvern]

I dont use turtle mode

also uhh

I was just poking around at the FC

and it started working

but it doesnt feel like its getting enough power to the motors

[heady pagoda]

not getting enough power?

[glacial wyvern]

sorry didnt type it right

[heady pagoda]

got it

how do you know its not getting enough power?

[glacial wyvern]

well when I do a full throttle punch it doesnt really go that fast

like it did before

[heady pagoda]

hmmm

with a fully charged lipo?

[glacial wyvern]

yes

[cyan galleon]

that wouldn't be because of a broken FC

[glacial wyvern]

ok nvm its not working again'

[cyan galleon]

if you can touch it and it comes back, that sounds like some wires have been damaged

[heady pagoda]

its an AIO board so fc and esc in one

[cyan galleon]

or solder joints compromised

[cyan galleon]

indeed 🙃

[glacial wyvern]

I checked all the cables and solders

[cyan galleon]

also would be very unprobable for it to be because of damaged ESCs

usually they work or they don't

did you crash in water / snow at all @glacial wyvern ?

[glacial wyvern]

nope

[cyan galleon]

wet grass?

[glacial wyvern]

no

crux 35 is back ordered everywhere

whats another one

[heady pagoda]

i would wait for the crux35

[glacial wyvern]

aaa

I just wanna fly

[heady pagoda]

i know how you feel XD

i have a 5 inch a tinywhoop and tinywhoop on the way from china just waiting to fly when i get the radiomaster ranger module

[limber vale]

yeah same here

[glacial wyvern]

ok so I did something stupid

instead of waiting for a cheap drone to go in stock

I jsut

got a mark 5

[graceful vessel]

i’m late to the party but was just browsing

i killed my first baby ape pro v2 by burning out a capacitor and voltage regulator….. all by not paying attention to the barrel of my soldering iron. has the same problem yours does — 5V comes from USB only, nothing at all on battery.
darwinfpv gave me a 10% discount to buy a new FC but i ended up buying a whole ‘nother baby ape. lol. i have some BECs on hand that i want to try to fix the old one with but i may ultimately end up replacing the stack completely at some point

may be hard to see, maybe not, but.., yeah lol i goofed bad

[glacial wyvern]

well I never soldered onto it and it still messed up so ima blame darwinfpv for that
