Hello, We are having some problems with our drone. One of our motors on our drone is not spinning and we have tried to implement the following solutions: 1. We have done ESC calibrations. 2. We have checked cable continuity. 3. We have switched PWMs and PWM I/O cabling. 4. We have switched the motors on each port and it will spin unless on port 4 of the PWM. 5. We got a new ESC. 6. We have reinstalled firmware and recalibrated sensors. 7. We watched the ESC troubleshooting video with the beeps. The motors on ports 1-3 will complete all 5 beeps. This has let us to believe that it is a problem with the FC. If you have any input on solutions please let us know ASAP. Otherwise we will order a new flight controller. Thank you for your time! ---

Yes, we’ve already performed the troubleshooting described in that post. ---

Help! Still not working. I didn’t see a FC as a replacement option. How can we get one? ---

Solution was new FC. PWM controller on old FC looks fried.
