51 "Does nothing" covers a surprisingly broad range of stuff ;-)
Do the motors make the startup tones when you plug the battery in? The three short ones and the two longer ones?
Does Betaflight still recognise the quad? Can you still connect to it and change the various settings?
The ground is for dead people.

388 You have to me descriptive on your problem. Are you getting radio input in BFC?
Turn your radio on, connect to BFC. Go to CLI and type "status". Tell us what it generated.

388 Looks like your arm switch is engaged. Disengage your arm switch and re-engage, you should be back to normal.

0 After i crashed i brought it home connected the battery and everything was working. The problem started when i connected the drone to Beta Flight. The blue light in the board turns on and starts beeping and if i connect the battery the drone does not do anything.

388 You can try reflashing. But are you 100% sure your Arm switch is in the off position when you plug in your lipo? Your FC is saying that it is not.

388 Go to the mode tab and make sure that your arm slider is toggling properly.

0 Went to modes tab and the arm switch is between 1000 @ 2100
the yellow dot when in disarm goes up to 1800 plus,and when on down to under 1200.
In the receiver tab AUX 1 when off is in 1854, when on is in 999.
I don't know if that is ok or wrong.

388 What is the yellow range you set? Interesting that off is 1854 and on is 999. Change your range to be 1000-1300 for the arm range.

0 Voodoo i set the arm range between 1000 and 1300 and saved the setting. When i connect the battery the blue light on the board starts flashing and beeping. the drone does not arm.
I appreciate greatly your help and i'm going to flash the board again and start from the beginning.
What i would like to know if all the settings that i have right now in Beta Flight will be erased?
