Got any "close up" pictures of your drone, particularly the stack, and the battery lead connections.  Huh

With a LiPo plugged in (preferably while using a Smoke Stopper), use a multimeter to check you are getting LiPo voltage between the V(BAT) pin and a GND point, and 5V between the 5V pin and a GND point of the ESC connector pins on the FC...

a tyro119 could be a inexpensive beginner build with the ability to handle 6s.
hopefully you can get your fc working.

@hugnosed - The OP currently has a Tyro119. This is what he/she has replaced this particular flight controller on. I guess another complete Tyro119 would be an option if the OP hasn't already lost trust in the quality of the components used for that build.

I wonder if he's just plugging in the wiring harness but the wires don't match up right......... Sometimes you have to rewire the plug itself.

Although come to think of it, I'm sure the others who asked what the FC was and what the FC was made sure that wasn't the case first....

But just in case .                                                     Click

I had a similar problem. Bought a new FC+ESC stack after burning the previous one in the quad. When I changed it and connected the lipo, nothing happened. When I plugged the USB to the FC, the diodes worked normally. The next day I swapped the cable ( there was 2 cables in the package) between FC and ESC and everything start magically working. I tought I burnt all components with previous FC but the problem was in the cable.
