Troubleshooting

The board is not turning on, you hear the power stage buzz noise but no melody

• Can happen if you haven't flashed the chip properly, make sure you hold the button while flashing so the chip is always powered
• The chip might be defective, can you connect to it with st-link utility while keeping the button pressed? Even if you feed the board with 3.3v from the st-link ?
• The 5v or 3.3v dc-dc converters could be defective, you can usually find the same dc-dc converters on the sideboards
• If the board draws more than 100mA in idle, it's probably broken

The board is not turning on, you can't hear the power stage buzz noise, and no melody

• the first TIP127 mosfet might be defective

The board is turning on as soon as the battery or charger is connected

• The top TIP127 mosfet is probably shorted (Q2 in schematics). Use a multi-meter to check the continuity between drain and source. If your multi-meter beeps, the mosfet is shorted so you need to replace it

When plugging in the battery, the XT60 connector burns

• It could be at least 2 mosfets of the same half-bridge/phase are shorted. Use a multi-meter to check the continuity between drain and source. If your multi-meter beeps, the mosfet is shorted so you need to replace it

You are unable to unlock the chip or flash the firmware
