You deserve more subscribers, I searched all over the internet and found nothing for my omnibus f4 pro v3 controller, you know what? when I touch test prob on Vin of the voltage regulator it booted, which is kinda strange considering how it can turn on by just touching the single multimeter lead on Vin, then it slowly fades and processor gets hot so I removed USB cable quicker. After searching for hours I stumbled upon your video and the way you traced the issue is remarkable. Thank you so much for the video Sir, subscribed to you and seriously, such stuff isn't shown by the experts. if it's possible to shed some light on my issue would be very helpful. Guys sub to this lovely person. He deserves more subscribers.
@@e2ekielus nowhere. Just one prob while multimeter set to voltage reading. Now it's very faint leds of I try again. So I quickly disconnect as mcu herts up. 3.3 and ground is shorted and I found couple of capacitor showing short.
@@xpertcrush i wouldnt use test probes with usb powered up. pins are so close on these boards that you could short more components by cross contact. however considering the situation that it is receiving usb power when this happens it sounds like heat from the short has made the Vin pin desolder enough to have a bad connection and when you are making contact with the probe it is making better contact and trying to boot. but the short still exsist and is caausing the mcu to fault.
When testing regulator output voltage should I use a ground pad on the board or the battery negative pad? I have a betafpv 12a aio that I get correct voltage reading on both the main linear regulator that feeds the ESCs and the 5v regulator when placing my negative lead of my probe on the battery negative. But if I place the negative lead on a ground pad I get 1.4 volts on the 5v output and input with the F411 already out. haven't found a dead cap yet, I just started fixing this stuff about 2 months ago and have been able to revive a ton of gear and is so satisfying but I always go back to this board determined to figure it out someday.
Hi, I have a problem with the voltage sensor in my Speedybee F405Wing The value in INAV is up and down 13v~20v (I use 4S battery) I have changed the battery but the problem still occurs I am really frustate because I really like long range flight Do you know what component that I need to check? (It seems I broke that componen during soldering the cable) Is there any external Voltage Sensor available that can send the data through our Remote? Would it be possible for us to parallely connect the Receiver (Matek R24D) to Flight Control and CRSF to PWM converter The idea behind that because I heard we can get Vbat tellemetry to our remote using CRSF to PWM converter But at the same time I stil need OSD and Waypoint capability from Flight Controller
Thanks for making this video. It is really going to be a big help in trying to track down my problem. Where are you getting the electrical components? I can't find the 3.3v regulator A1117B 3.3 HJ. I ordered an AMB1117 regulator thinking it might work, but it's too large. I trimmed the legs down and made it work anyway, but the pads under the regulator are all shorted. Well 3 of the 4 pads are grounded, so where can I buy the tiny caps? Thanks.
@@shaundsouza It was a Mamba F405 20x20. It was a MK2. My 3.3v regulator was getting very hot as soon as I put power to the flight controller but the problem was not the 3.3v regulator. It was the F405 chip that was shorted out. I bought a few F405 chips and replaced the one on my flight controller and the flight controller works fine again. I'm still flying it today.
@@CarbonGlassMan I have the same flight controller, the 5v and 9v led's are on but not the 3.3v power rail led, I hope it's just the 3.3v regulator that's burnt out.
Waylandir well that would just depend on the parts needed for those specific fc’s. Would need to be debugged first. Btw I didn’t have my hot air solder gun at the time I filmed this video. I actually used a temp controlled solder iron with a really small tip. Works just as good just not as easy.

Was the other probe on gnd when you touched Vin and it booted?

Board was working fine. Yesterday I plug in battery and only heard escs beep. Does boards fail like this?

I wish I would have seen your video a year ago.
I have a couple of fc’s I can do the same you showed.
Thank you 🙏
Amazing repair, bro

Marcus, if you can, send me a short video to my email showing me these results. I think I may be reading something wrong in your question.

HI
HOW DID YOU KNOW WHAT 0402 CAPACITOR TO USE?

Digi-key has a large selection. Shipping is fast too
@@e2ekielus Thanks. I also found a place in China called LCSC Electronics. The STM32F405RGT6 is $5.38 each.
@@CarbonGlassMan which was your flight controller?

how to fix flight controller when it shows short across diode?
Thank Will!
How do you found out the right value for the dead capacitor?
men thank u for this video its giving me an idea on how to fix a flight controller that is new but i guess i damage and i subscribe thank u again.
What is the cause of 3.3v issue? Short?
Is the pin out from the regulator is common for most of the 5pin regulator or I should look for the datasheet for each difrent one?
Some pinouts are slightly different on regulators that might look similar however for this FC the pin outs are all the same.
I don't have the skill or the equipment to do that type of micro-soldering. What would you charge me to fix 2 Kiss V2 FC's?
Waylandir well that would just depend on the parts needed for those specific fc’s. Would need to be debugged first. Btw I didn’t have my hot air solder gun at the time I filmed this video. I actually used a temp controlled solder iron with a really small tip. Works just as good just not as easy.
My flight controller says config file appears to be corrupted ASCII what does that mean and how do I fix it I was trying to flash it in betaflight
Hi, did you substitute the processor or it was only the caps and voltage regulator??
Jmc, in my case it was only the cap and reg.
@e2ekielus but did you still have a short after remove the last cap?
No. the reg shorted which caused the cap to short. Any trace after the cap was not damaged. Your case might be different
Can you help Me with my flight controller it has solid red light on it. I was installing firmware update something went wrong
BTW excellent video 👍👍👍
Hey I’m in the video 🤗🤗🙃
