Ok so i have been flying FPV for a good little while now. A few days ago I was ripping around on my Emax Hawk 5. I had a hard landing, but it was a lot softer than some other crashes I had done on it. When I went to pick it up, there was a faint buzzing sound, and no power to the FC, VTX, or receiver.

So, I took it home for further exploration. The Hawk 5 has a (i think) 10 pin connection between the FC and Power board. When I plug the battery in, You hear 3 beeps from the motors, but no FC power. My first thought was that I cracked the FC or some other board. However, after taking the drone apart it apart, it looks perfectly fine.

Heres where things get interesting. I am still able to plug the FC in via USB, and it gets power, and the VTX and receiver get power also.

Therefore, I am asking does anyone think I should replace the FC or the power board?

Thanks for all the help,
Owen

Thinking you may have cooked the voltage regulator on the FC. Probably explains why you can power up the quad by plugging it into the computer. If you’re handy with a soldering iron, you can pick up a cheap 12/5v regulator and fit one yourself. Otherwise it’s looking like a new FC.
