    Crash- motor has a short- smoking

    UPDATE 8-5-19 I finally received the parts to complete my repairs. They were back order nearly a month. I changed another back ESC motors board and a burned out LED bulb. I just tested the drone and it works like new. This was quite a lot of work with the damage this unit had. I thank you so...

    Crash- motor has a short- smoking

    Connections look good to the light. I just ordered a new ESC and front white light. It could have been a bad light but I just as soon put in the parts and be safe with all the time I have put into it. I hate taking it apart again but I am getting good at it.

    Yes it is the front ESC you sent. Maybe I should change it. The (back motor) small orange /yellow wire with connectors was the one I pinched. I would replace it but it is not sold separately, only with the flight controller. I think I might order a new ESC along with a new light. What do you think?

    Crash- motor has a short- smoking

    SUCCESS!!!! I tested my drone this morning and it preformed perfectly. I did as you suggested and flew if just off the ground without the camera. Then I flew it again with the camera and recorded some video. I will run another low flight test before going higher to be sure nothing else will show...

    Crash- motor has a short- smoking

    I connected the drone to the GUI and this is a screen shot display of the drone. It appears that everything is OK with the motors and the ESC boards. My problem is the left front light does not display a white flashing like the other front light ( It has a blue light instead). The two back...

    I unplugged the ST 10 battery and it fired up again. Not sure why it tripped out. I will have to do more testing of the drone itself and see if there are some other problems that needs attention. Hopefully I will get this back in the air again with a little more work.

    I put it on the GUI and set the motors (ESC) to be recognized. Everything was green. I went out and turned on the ST 10 and got my normal screen. I then turned on the drone and had the back tow lights flashing red and the right front flashing white. The other front light must not be connected...

    "Warning Motor error! Enter five-rotor mode! Please land immediately" When I tested the drone I did not have the prop blades on. Would this cause the warning I got. I don't want to turn it back in fears of burning something up again.

    Crash- motor has a short- smoking

    I just completed the work on my drone and started it up. I got red flashing lights and an error message to enter five rotor mode. One motor must be bad motor. I did pinch the thin wires when closing the unit but there didn't appear to be any damage. They are the ones from the ESC to the main...

    I was thinking about how I would test it out and your suggest sounds the best. I will have to order a couple of new batteries. It seems they bulge out after a few months. They are not cheap and this is will be the 2nd set of them in a year.

    Crash- motor has a short- smoking

    Wow! I got the CGO3 back together and that took a lot of holding my breath and sweating. I hooked it up to my Steady Grip and presto it worked. Never could have figured out which wire had to go back on the board without your diagram. I tested the drone and the back B motor ESC board started...

    That is what I needed/ The wires are as thin a s hair and broke without much movement. I have to copter all put back together and hoping to get the camera back on. I will let you know how things turn out. Thanks
