So the problem that i have currently is that when i plug in my battery to the drone the lights dont light up and make that sound. Ive just installed and flashed beta flight onto the drone. However when i connect the fc to the computer via micro usb the lights come on. So not sure what the problem is, and dont know if i have broken fc as prior to installing betaflight everything worked just fine.

Your 5V regulator or the schottky diode might be bad.

There is not a setting that would cause you problem.
