board powering issue

Postby bjhedgeb » Tue Jul 28, 2015 6:53 pm

Hey Everyone,
I was having some problems with one of my Autoquads (the board specifically). Currently, when I connect the Autoquad battery, the esc motors begin to blink red BUT the AQ6 board itself does not show any lights (not even for the manual control receiver or for the bluetooth). Consequently, the Autoquad cannot fly.
My first thought was that somehow, the board got fried. But the esc motors are connected to the board and are receiving power.
Has anyone run into this problem? Is the board actually fried or is there something that can be done.
I appreciate any help given.

It is a bad sign if there is no LED!
Have you tried to flash new firmware?

If the red LED is not coming on, its probably the main MCU that is dead.

Does the main processor get hot?

If that is the case, it can be remedied by replacing the main processor, but it requires SMT soldering skills and tools.
