New guy, new drone (to me), new issue.
Posted in general support by accident and find the delete option so.....
40yo first time drone owner here
So I decided to jump into the hobby and ended up buying a second hand P4 that had a cracked landing gear, tweaked gimbal arm, and some very minor cosmetic damage. It flew fine as is but I replaced the landing gear, gimbal arm, cleaned up the body and added a decal for the hell of it. Test flight again it it flew fine. I just recently updated the firmware and recalibrated everything that could be, still flies fine.
Here's my issue
I did a nice 2 mile loop around my work today and when "returning to home" it came down fine but then strafed to the left with a large gust of wind and the props made contact with the bulding and shattered due to it being near single digit weather. Nothing big, new props and mounts that I already had just incase since it is my first drone. no other damage
The problem is now the drone does not want to power back up after I removed the battery and reinstalled it. Nothing, no lights, no beep, no cooling fan. I've been an auto tech for 20 years and electronics are no fear for me so I completely took it apart and seperated the shells figuring I may have knocked a connector loose, but I found nothing wrong. Battery is good and full charged, it does the battery self check but it's as if it's just not connected to the drone.
Is there some fail safe after a crash I don't know of or some common problem?
Trying to figure out my move before I start looking at the ESC but it's just weird that it happened and won't power up now.
TIA
