Hello,
I started having an issue, probably from a bad solder on my part where the board wouldn't fully start up, just the first 3 beeps, no esc tone.
On the board, the led light lights up solid.
Tested after the fact with a home-made smoke stopper, showed a short.
Removed the ESC's, problem still there.
No boot, not recognized via USB in windows, gets hot.
Tested continuity, there is continuity between ground and 3.3v pad (not good).
I am thinking one of the 3.3v regulators is bad, but I can't find the test to prove this, I only found the test for the schlotter(?) diode, and it is fine.
Can someone help me with how I test with a multimeter which of these two regulators are bad:
I am pretty sure the regulators are the 5 pin part, bottom middle, and the same looking one above a bit and to the right.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
