I'm pretty new to this forum. It is really cool to see how many beginners get sorted and get airborne after coming here. FPV keeps you humble too. Things change so fast that even the "old pros" have questions when trying new things. Good job to the problem solving newbies here, we've all been there

Hello

I am flying the meteor 65 pro for a wile now, and I just smashed the drone on a wall...
Now is the image that I get out of the camera black...
I opend up the meteor 65 pro and everything seemed fine.
Does someone know what the problem is?

Regards

You damaged something during the crash ..
does it still fly?
Do you see the osd in ur goggles?
If u have a jewelers loupe inspect your fc/ camera connections real good!

Is the image all black (possibly the OSD chip on the FC is damaged or the wire from the FC to VTX is loose) or do you see the BF OSD on a black/grey background (camera is damaged or wires from camera to VTX is loose).

Yes I see the osd in my goggles and he still flies but I don't see any damage on my drone, probably a damaged camera...
Is there a way to fix this?

Buy a new camera. A Caddx Ant Nano will work, or the BetaFPV C02.

But first, check the soldering/wires between the camera and the vtx. Chances are you broke a wire on one side of the equation. I had the same issue after a crash on my Meteor85. Beware the pads on the camera and the vtx are super small so precision soldering required. If you don't think you can do it, just buy a new camera and save that one for a rainy day when your soldering skill is at that level.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Hello everyone,

I just crashed my meteor 65 pro and after that my radio (the lite radio pro) said "telemetry lost"...
I opend my drone up and there is no damage, the red 'wire' of the ExpressELRS is still there and not broken so I don't see what the problem could be...
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

I actully also tried to resolder the red wire but that also didn’t work.

Did you try to rebind it to your radio. Does the RX LED double-flash in bind mode?
