Burned Power board Or Flight Controller? (Repair Help)

[SavantWolf]

Went to the park to do some casual flying today but when I plugged my lipo to my Drone I saw smoke coming in between the Powerboard and the Flight Controller. I can arm and disarm it and basically do every directional control I wanted but the only problem was the receiver wasnt turning on and I couldnt see anything in my goggles. And so I went home and opened it up trying to find what burned but I cant see any significant marks to decide which was broken. I know its not the receiver thats broken because there was no smoke and an antenna was connected.

Savant,

I don't think I'll be much help but I did have similar issues with my RaceFlight build. See this link for further info:

If you have a multimeter, check the voltage of the 5V and/or 12V pads on your PDB. The BEC may have gone out.

if you are not using a capacitor between your power leads sometimes voltage spikes could fry your reciever vtx,or esc's especially if using active braking
