The st16 controller does not turn on

[aerodron]

When I turn on the controller, the light comes on, but unfortunately I cannot hear anything and there is nothing on the screen. What could be the reason for this and where should I start looking for the fault?
I am attaching photos of the controller.

If the screen is not defective, it is usually an update error that causes this.
The following remedy helps:

In quick succession, immediately after switching on, tap the center screen button until the Yuneec logo appears.
You have to tap quickly... this has already helped x pilots.

The ‘middle button on the screen’ means the two horizontal lines below the screen? Immediately after switching on, there is a sound, but when I hold it down, nothing happens (30 seconds).

"The ‘middle button on the screen’ means the two horizontal lines below the screen?"
Yes.


"but when I hold it down,"
You do not hold it down. You tap it rapidly many times.

I also notice in the old posts there was some confusion of which button works. Most often, reports of success came after using the "center" button. But many posts instructed the use of the "home" button. Some even instructed use of the "home" button but described it as the "one in the center". If the "Center" does not work, at least try the "Home". And please update us on which one works, if it does.

Unfortunately, none of these methods work. It looks like it's just “dead,” only the power indicator light is on, so I guess I'll have to open it up and see what's inside.

Good Morning,
I just went through this with an ST16S, - power button, then only got a blue light, no sounds or any activity tapping on the screen or any of the Home or other buttons along the bottom of the screen. I ended up purchasing a used controller for parts and to make a long story short, I found that by replacing the board that is connected to the main battery leads and the screen I was able to get the screen back and is operational now. I Originally though my screen went bad, but I tested on the other parts controller and it worked, so next step was the board and it fixed it.
Hope this helps.

Yes, the image is of a ST16. The board I am referring to are similar in both the ST16 and the ST16S.

I thought you were working on a ST16 ?

Here is another image of an ST16, taken a screen shot from this video -

At any rate, the board that has the battery cables attach is the one i am trying to refer to. As this board has a ribbon cable (on right side, covered in black tape) going to the screen as well. There are 2 more ribbon cables going to the motherboard on the bottom under the black tape.

ya, my mistake. If you can not fix yours, I have an extra ST16S controller if you are interested.

Try to switch it on with usb power supply connected...if it starts, the problem is the main board that doesn't distribute the power as it should.
