hi guys! anybody interested in figuring out the mini 2 no power issue?

[commrus]

cause of the problem: belly impact

problem: no power on press of the power button (power button has already been checked and has continuity), battery is full charged, esc and esc power cable verified working

finding No. 1 but still needs a solution: core board can charge a battery when plugged via usb port. it is just too slow compared to a working unit where led runs pretty fast, this one, the led runs turtle slow from left to right so i was suspecting something was affected on the charging section. this means there is electricity flowing from usb to coreboard to esc battery but what could be causing the turtle slow charging?

finding No. 2 that badly needs a solution: electricity from esc (power cable going to core board already verified voltage on pins is active) as it enters the core board is no longer detectable (limitation on my end) causing power button to not function. there must be a gate keeper or posibly a component that has worn off preventing power coming in from the esc. can some one identify it on the coreboard (labelled) image im attaching here?

thanks in advance to the techie guys! cheers!

H!

The area of the right bottom of the board in the first picture doesn’t look right.

oh the grounding in the lower right has a small crack so i scraped the top layer to see whats in the mid section. i noticed it was solid layering surfaces same as top surface area so a small crack may have no effect as i did multimeter continuity check. thanks for the reply.
