board powering issue

[bjhedgeb]

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.

You can take the board out of the copter and just connect power to it. Then measure the recomm's, there should be 5V on the outputs. Also you can check for a dead MCU and 3.3V LDO. Please refer to the Autoquadforum http://forum.autoquad.org/index.php for more information about testing. Also you can contact JussiH from viacopter (via the forum or the viacopter website) for repair options.
