Well after getting the right tools for the job, I dived in ready to put this bird back together. The resseting of the frame was successful, with only a very slight lift at the point where the frame buckled. Put the battery in and fired it up, the boot process was normal and connected to the controller as usual. The app worked, and camera view was normal, GPS was good and everything was a go, pulled down and in on the sticks and got the ESC error!!!! none of the motors spun up.
Did the reboot several times as instructed, but the results remain the same. It looks like I may need to seek professional help on the next phase of repairs as I may need to replace the main board since all of the motors did not spin up. Anyone have a cost range on such a repair? or would I be better off seeking another P3P off ebay for around mid $300-$400.
