So I soldered up my flight controller and turned it on, it worked for like 30 seconds then the lights turned off and they never turned on again and I can't connect to anything so I'm positive its fried. The thing is that I am 100% certain that there were no briges (We've checked extensively), there was no smoke, no sound, it doesn't even smell like something burned. I think it could be that I used too much flux when soldering the pins but I also removed burned flux between pins before poweron. This is the second flight controller I've broken and I have no clue as to what I'm doing wrong, if you guys need a photo I can provide that.

The fucking destroyed pins on the right side were after it failed, i tried to get them off but i got it way too hot and the plastic melted, that is not the couse of the failure
