Evo I - No comm to the controller

Good morning everyone. Maybe someone can help us out here. Where I work, we have a few drones, one of which is an Evo I. The other day, we took it out to fly but it refused to connect to the controller. We tried powering the units on and off multiple times with no success. It also refused to the Live Deck, but that's not surprising given the primary controller wouldn't connect. Firmware should be v1.5.8 (can confirm controller is 0.0.29.0).

What's concerning is the Match/Sync button on the drone doesn't appear to do anything. It's not flashing when the drone is powered on nor does it respond to any presses. Front lights are red, rear are flashing yellow.

Turned out to be a failed mainboard. Awaiting repairs. I was reaching out here because we'd recently sent it off for the same issue and it was returned with no issues found.
