    Ack! I just bought a Typhoon H and got hosed! :(

    Thank you! I'll be careful opening it. I know the deoxit is a bit over kill, but I have a few cans of Deoxit, Deoxit Gold and Faderlube. Before the pandemic killed it, I had a business restoring vintage audio equipment, so they are leftover from doing that work.

    Ack! I just bought a Typhoon H and got hosed! :(

    I tried spraying deoxit into the holes on the back of the ST16. Now, the right stick is working fine but there's no signal from the left stick. Still nothing from K1 and K2, now there's nothing on K3 either! Oi. Oh, and I got too vigorous with the deoxit and there is some that wicked into the...

    Ack! I just bought a Typhoon H and got hosed! :(

    This happened in a gated townhome community, so I had/ have no way of getting back in easily to talk to the neighbor. Or toilet paper her house or something, but I digress.... I was a mark, made a bad decision to allow myself to be. :-( but, it'll work out- with you all, I know I can turn this...

    A little encouraging news- I reset the controller and bound it to the H again. Still having problems with the right gimbal, but just binding and starting the motors without props, they all start up fine. "Lift off" and it all goes crazy with a 5 rotor error, lights, beeps, etc, which means at...

    Here are some close ups of the gimbal board that WTFDproject requested. Thanks so much, everyone, for the encouragement. I really appreciate it and it's helping me not feel so bad about this. Things have been hard due to the pandemic shut downs, as I'm sure it has been for all of you, so...

    When she said all she had was $200, I told her she could just do what's right, pay me back $100 towards repairs, and we end this whole issue. She obviously said no. In more colorful terms. Not a very nice person.

    Ack! I just bought a Typhoon H and got hosed! :(

    Aaaaaaaaand, I'm back. That was fast. I get almost all the way over to her house and she messages, "oh, btw, I already spent $160, so I'm only going to give you $200 back." :mad: So.... yeah, I'm back trying to fix this thing. :confused:

    Ack! I just bought a Typhoon H and got hosed! :(

    Well, I put up a post on FB warning others about this seller and she saw it, said some bad things then said she would refund my money, so we'll see how it goes. I'm concerned this is more a project than I can afford right now, if I need a new camera and contact cleaner doesn't work on the...

    Ack! I just bought a Typhoon H and got hosed! :(

    I don't have a thin enough screwdriver to get the ball housing off the camera head right now, but so far here is the carnage. One of the wire bundles into the camera head is intact, 3 are broken and the pitch encoder bundle is broken. Looks like the easiest option would be to get a whole new...

    Ack! I just bought a Typhoon H and got hosed! :(

    I got the covers off the arm and there are 4 signal bundles that are broken. There is one that is intact into past the roll joint, and the roll motor and encoder wires are intact.

    Ack! I just bought a Typhoon H and got hosed! :(

    Thank you for the encouragement! I was just crestfallen when I got home and got a better look at the drone. Here's a few pics of what I'm working with on the camera. I can start pulling screws tomorrow to get the covers off the gimbal arm if it woild give any better indication of condition. I'll...

    Ack! I just bought a Typhoon H and got hosed! :(

    Hello all! I just bought a Typhoon H. I'm an idiot. I was excited to find a drone at a reasonable price, the seller was a "single mother who needed to feed her baby..." I made a bad decision. It is complete, 1 good battery, 1 puffed out, with ST16 (pro? 3 antennae), Realsense and the Wizard...
