I recently purchased a "broken" Phantom 3 Pro and have been trying to fix it. Everything is working so far except for I am receiving the ESC error when attempting motor startup. I installed v1.11.30 FW and that didn't make a difference.
Condition of the P3P:
- All circuit boards seems okay visually, but the water indicator sticker above the battery compartment is red
- No visible corrosion or burnt out parts.
- I checked the DAT logs and it's the two rear motors that have the ESC status of 0 (front motors status are 31 or 32).
- It is also apparent that previous owner replaced the two rear motors by twisting/taping the wires. I re-spliced and soldered them but haven't seen a difference.
I am out of ideas, other than replacing the main center board. Also, I don't own a multimeter so I haven't measured anything in the circuits, if that's the last resort then I'll get one, but wanted to see if anyone has other ideas here first. Thanks!
