Description
I found myself with a FC ( Flight Controller ) that would not power up or connect to my computer when I plugged in a USB cable. But when I plugged in a Lipo battery it would power up. After some google searching I found a extremely helpful video from Project Blue Falcon and of course JC had already found a fix. So this is another source of helpful information based of JC’s video. What cause my issue was accidentally letting the 5V and ground wires from the FC touch. That shorted out the circuit and damaged the Diode. Hope this is helpful!
