I recently built my new drone on an it has been flying well with no issues yntmy last flight, I noticed a prop too a little damage so I landed it and replaced the prop but now when I try to fly it one of the motors does not put out the same amount of power anymore and it cannot take off now, it just flips over. I wonder if I landed it too hard and perhaps that caused something? I just need ideas before I get home and connect to beta flight.
 
Sounds just like a wire break in motor coils. Impacts can break them as usually very thin wires
 
Just do am inspection, you might spot the issue otherwise just switch it out. Always keep the spare bell as it'll drop right onto another if you loose magnets etc
 
It could be the ESC. Listen for the first 3 tones when powering up with the battery (Are all tones in sync, or do you hear a delay or echo). If it's the motor, you can damage the ESC if trying to throttle up hard too long (or worse get a fire). Easy way to check is to swap solder motors.
