My FC won't connect after a hard impact that broke the nylon standoffs. When I plug it into USB all windows does is make the 'usb connection' sound over and over. I can connect with my other quads. Is the FC cooked? The original 4 in 1 esc is good and being used, but I wanted to try and salvage the FC if possible. I've even tried shorting the boot pins but nothing. It was a significant impact into a tree branch and afterwards only one motor would spin up.

Check the small feet that attach the USB port to the flight controller (magnifying glass may be helpful) they may have become detached in the crash
Dude, where's my quad?

Try connecting to the FC via an UART: https://oscarliang.com/connect-fc-broken-usb/
