stuck motor prompt

[PPTHERIAULT]

NIB mini 2, just going through the set up and one motor will not turn and is giving a error message?

NIB?
Can you see anything jamming it, perhaps a lose screw etc that has become wedged? If so try displacing it with soft probes such as matchsticks.
Turn the other motors by hand and assess the force necessary to turn them, apply what you think is the same force to the stuck motor, first one way then perhaps the other, do not FORCE IT, will it turn?

Nothing stuck just very stiff. Stiff enough that drone would not even complete its initializing sequence and gave the motor error. After the third attempt it did complete the test and motor spun up properly. Drone has not flown yet (new today) and I am not sure what this will do to battery life and stability.

If still stiff and new return it as defective before it crashes etc.

Turn the unit upside down and give the motor a few shots of canned compressed air while you gently turn the props GENTLE (a smidgen) left and right while hitting it with air.
Good luck.

Just send it back.
