typhoon h problem, need help

[Brumor2030]

Hi everyone, I’m new to yuneecpilots, and this is my first post. I’m here in hopes of finding answers, I just bough a used typhoon h from some guy I found on let go. The problem that I am having is that I can’t get the motors to start, I have done everything possible to get them going, but can’t, I have done calibrations, firmware updates, checked b1 button functionality, binding, shut the gps off to see if the motors will start but nothing works. Another problem I’m having is that gps detects 16 satellites but never acquires signal, I have left the drone and st16 outside in an open field for one hour and it never aquires the gps. I have spent hours doing research and I have come to the conclusion that it could be the esc or the flight controller mounted on top of the esc. What do you guys think? Anybody out there with same issue? I really don’t feel like sending it out to get repaired because the factory warranty has expired .

And you aren’t in a no-fly-zone? Near airfields or other areas?

Have you plugged into the GUI and done a motor test ?
And I will just check the bleeding obvious and make sure you've read the manual, and therefore know about holding that button for 3 seconds...

Where are you located, as Viking mentioned above, so we can see if you are in a NFZ area.

I’m not in a nfz

I’m not in a NFZ, I plugged the h to the GUI and tells me everything is good, I can run the motor test and they work

What's the main LED light sequence?

 

[AH-1G]

What are the color of the lights when pushing the red button to start motors?
Does it beep? Do you see amber and purple blinking?
Is it only blinking purple

With 16 satellites after about a minute or so the GPS should go from acquiring to acquired. After that it should start.

Could this be a GPS module problem or something connected with it? But will be interesting to see what main LED is doing.

Right now I have the h apart because I wanted to see if the esc or flight controller had anything burnt, but if I remember correctly the light wat flashing purple, everything on the drone works great except the gps and it won’t start the motors

This is sounding more and more like a broken GPS module...

 

[AH-1G]

So the monitor showed/indicated no gps, for both the ST16 and the H?

That’s what I suspected at first but even with the gps off the h won’t start the motors

no beeps?

The st16 gps works great the problem is the h

What time was this happening, I had the same issue this morning, about 9ish to 10ish

 

[Brumor2030]

no beeps?

Yes it beeps but motors don’t start

 

[AH-1G]

I kept getting calibration warnings.

Yes it beeps but motors don’t start
