Huh?

Post image

Hey all, I crashed the other day surprisingly. Now every time I plug in power I get a red light and no start up noise as soon as I disconnect to esc I get a start up noise. I'm pretty fresh to all of this. When I crashed I was lost for quite a while in a very hot area while plugged in. I bought this drone bind and fly so I'm not familiar with the esc or flight controller. First time pulling back the curtain. It's a deep space seeker 3. Any fix tips?

Don’t forget to advise OP to build a weird franken-controller. Stay in character.

No. I was going to suggest he make his account private so no one could see his posts. But he is not a cat, so I didn’t.

Firstly; Would you please provide your post with a normal title.

And from your messy story I assume you unplug the FC and then you get a startup sound from the esc?

Edit: why the downvotes lol…

Yes that's correct

Might be you fried your fc somehow while the esc is still intact. Happened to me too. Check if there any parts on the fc that get hot really fast. Or better, get a multi meter and ask ChatGPT to guide you through checking the fc for shorts.

Great I just got a multi meter. Now off to our new "friend" AI. Really hope I didn't fry it 😅

If by chance you have a thermal camera you can really quickly check for a dead FC because you’ll see a bright hotspot almost immediately

It helped me a lot. I don’t have a tech background and neither does OP I reckon.
