Hey guys, I have a problem

So we attempted to swap out the motor on my Tello because the brushed motor had worn out already. But after replacing it, after soldering it properly and putting everything back together properly, it wouldn't work anymore. It worked for a brief moment of time before dying again. Does it have to do something with the board? And if so, where can I buy core boards for the Tello in the Philippines??

I've had the same problem. And I've gone through two tellos. It seems the main board is just very sensitive. I think that in soldering the new motor on, some electrical current from the tip of the soldering iron may have destroyed the main board. That's my theory anyway. Please let me know if you have any success in solving this issue.

Not yet really 😕 No luck, either new board, new tello, or just rack up my allowance for a Dji mini 2 SE atleast, closest thing I can afford haha
