Another victim
I powered AQ for the first time ever.. LiPos 3S 2200, very fresh
The moment I connected battery, I heard "hisssssssss" and my board is smokin!
I disconnected battery straight away, could be 3-4 seconds max.
I checked the polarity, it looked fine.. I flipped the board and there was no visible damage (unless inside the RECOMs)
Now reading this thread, I can only assume that somehow I've done a stupid thing and damaged my board.. I was really very very angry and disappointed.. heart beats and shit lol
However, the conditions my fellow poor friends described here looks almost the same.. So into the the solution:
IS there anyway that I can check whether my board still alive, only RECOMs are burned. Btw, I tried to detect from where the smoke was coming and couldn't figure. There's nothing as "toasted" here.. I've not opened the RECOMs yet..
It was a matter of seconds only.. I used shark connectors.. Last I remember yes I did checked for polarity.. but shit happens.. I might be mistaken, Not sure.. But as I said.. all symptoms are nearly the same..
My first priority is TIME..
Jussi, is there anyway to fix this or replace the RECOMs?
I bought this board from Paul - Flyduino
Thanks
