Well, I'll take it as good news. I've learned enough to know that it's most likely beyond salvaging, and y'all have already pointed me at Yuneec Skins. Now comes the hard part, figuring out how much I want to invest time-wise into this hobby. Like I said, this Typhoon was given to me by a...

Well, first measurements and observations: 16v, 0.33A 12v, 0.54A 8v, 0.58A I started taking voltage readings, but the gimbal board is running so warm that it's uncomfortable to hold by the edges while trying to take measurements (I've not disconnected anything from the board). Is that typical?

I'll report back with my measurements.

Thanks for the info. Power will be from a voltage & current limited power supply. I'll get the voltages recorded and let y'all know what I find. Have a good one, Mike

Question: I'm about to start testing the voltages on the gimbal card, but one thing I haven't found is the source voltage. I'm *guessing* it's 9v, based on the voltage at the + pin. Is that correct? On the subject of the failed battery, what's the best way to replace it? OEM? 3rd party...

I tried that. Got the "Can't read this, you have to format the drive first" error message. I assumed that the ST-10 file structure wasn't compatible with Windows (I've tried with Win 10 Pro and Win 10 Home editions).

Yes, I did. I hit a wall when the ST-10 wouldn't connect to any of three different computers. I'm using a verified micro USB data cable, and I believe it's connected to the ST-10 because the charge light is flashing. I've verified there is an SD card mounted in the ST-10. I get this error...

To all, First off, sorry for the delay in responding, our internet service was down all yesterday until after we went to bed. 7cyclops, thanks for aiming me towards the history function; I'll be working my way through that as much as possible. I did a reasonable amount of generic google...

I came to this forum exactly because of what I found in my initial Google searches. In fact, WTFD has replied to my queries in both Yuneec forums (the other one doesn't seem to generate near the traffic this one does). This drone was a gift, and I don't really want to pay to have the gimbal...

Drone is a Q500 4K. Flying about 50 ft. elevation, suddenly felt an alert vibration in the transmitter, simultaneously drone rotors went to ground idle rpm. Glanced down and saw something about "Communication Lost" (only saw it for a fraction of a second), then watched it impact on paved...
