Thats very sneaky tried assigning each motor one at a time as #1 and it fails on every motor regardless of which motor is spun.

OK the 3 small wires that come from the Main board to the ESC 1 are the ones that had been damaged about mid way along the arm. It was ESC 1 and 4 I have replaced I have done a resistance check on the 3 wires between the connection on the mainboard and the ESC plug and they check out fine. I...

No the ESCs still fail the initialization test in the GUI, cant be assigned, just come up all red after a couple of seconds. On turn on, all of The ESCs have the two little blue LEDs, one comes on solid, the second flashes for a second and then goes out. just in case it has some importance, I...

Update after finding and getting two used ESCs from Haydn, arrived today and fitted. all light come on as they should but sadly it looks like I have wasted my time and money as the ESCs still fail to initialize.

I have been around long enough in this life and have tried to help people with issues, it gets very hard when questions are ignored or only half information is provided and be becomes like pulling teeth. I fly RC planes, electric, Nitro and Petrol, but never touched a drone of this level...

one more question before I leave you in peace, What is the best way to repair the damaged arm while its apart. I was thinking super glue to hold in position and then clean and sand the outside and use epoxy to reinforce here is a picture of the damaged control cables

OK thanks for all the help everyone, I have opened up the unit and was a little worried the main board may have been the issue as both failed ESC's came from the same side of the control board. I managed to get one of the control cables from that side to reach a good ESC and unlike the...

Thank you to everyone that has helped, will update as this progresses. I understand that the motors wont start unless all arm, My thoughts with moving the escs around on the controller board was to confirm the current non arming escs would arm with a known good one plugged into that position...

do you have any suggestions for a reliable supplier that posts international at fair prices please. I have hunted the Australian RCgroups for sale pages but no one seems to be selling new or wrecked parts here. Edit I guess the next step would be to open it up and move ESC #3 to esc position...

I assumed the led I could see on motor one was blue as that is what I could see, BUT The main LED that is visible when flying is not lit on motor one and what I could see were the ecs status leds on the board. OK I have removed the covers from all ESC's now to check status leds motor one The...

No motors ran on individual motor tests No response at all, it timed out and reported all failed On closer inspection, the large blue led is not working and what I could see was the led on the esc. yes control lead unpluged and + power wire cut, and 2 of the 3 motor wires unsoldered from...

#2 has the burnt ESC that is interesting in that the #1 Blue LED is dull compared to 2 3 4 .... #2 ESC is completly isolated now, I determined #2 was dead as it was hot and one of the ms fets was fried. see pic file

the other side of the world from me here in South Australia. OK ran the program and every thing pased except the ESC test that failed ran the ESC ID assianment and it said ESC 1234 failed disconnected the data wire from the ESC and it said ESC 1234 failed then disconnected the positive wire...

thankyou for that file, going to get away from computer for awhile now, will have a go latter tonight and see what I find

So you are suggesting that it has most likely taken out the main controller board as well as the burnt ESC that I have found. Or will a burnt or disconnected ESC cause a 0 fault code to be reported? Just trying to work out what to do with, if its an ESC its viable but if its the Main board +...
