So it might be the ESC module as that's what connects to the battery...Thankfully that's only $20-30! But I hope its not the switch, because that's on the mother board which coats about $150-200😬
What did you crash today?

I have a feeling it is😅👍 So to power the drone on you hold down the power button down there are a few LED's on the top and they go in 1 2 3 4 cycle then it powers on...now right now the drone just powers on and one of the lights flash, but I can hold down the power button and it does the 4321 for powering off, so i would think if it was something with the switch is would be frozen to on and you couldn't power it down with the switch.

THANKFULLY the camera and gimbal seem to be fine! With those, dJI actually has a digital code so that only the camera in the drone will work with the motherboard that's in the drone, unless you send it to them and they reset it in the firmware!!🤯 (And good luck sending it to them nowadays with the DJI ban in the US!😆😆)

I am kinda thinking that its the ESC - motherboard ribbon cable...I did a continuity reading on the end of one of the ribbon cable..not end to end, just on one end as it has a continuity of 2.4 ohms between so of the pins, which means there must be something messing with the signal between them, which could very well power on the drone and give a batt communication error.

Also one right next to it giving a reading of 3.2ohms which points to it even more!

So I took a needle and scraped between the pads on the plug and now the auto power on problem is gone and the battery communication error is gone!!😀😀😀😀

It's working!!!😁😁😁😁 I took it for a test flight and it seems to be working correctly, might be slightly less stable, but its hard to tell being that its dark out and the optical flow/lidar sensors can't see the ground. But the gimbal, RTH, internal memory, ect all works as should!

So I tried a 5030 prop with 3s 650ma battery on my Tiny Terrorist Tutor this morning. I never quite know whether the "death circle" will be right or left, it changes as I make changes trying to get this dratted thing to fly.
The circle was to the left, and I was too slow and flustered trying to get the thing up to correct quick enough to keep it outta the airplane eating tree... 😁 See attached. I did get it down.
Broke the brand new propeller, and hitting the tree shoved the wing back hard into the rubber bands, cutting into it. Overall, 2nd best Ianding, next to the bush. 🤣

That dose not sound good😬
If those grew on my trees, I'd climb them and pick them all day long!
