The board is not turning ON, you hear the power stage buzz noise, no melody, the led on the mainboard is OFF
- 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 hear the power stage buzz noise, no melody, the led on the mainboard is ON
- If the led on the mainboard is ON when you press the button, but the board doesn't stay ON when you release the button, you might want to check if you have another variant of the board
The board is turning ON as soon as the battery or charger is connected, and you cannot turn it OFF
- 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

- It can happen when the battery voltage is too low
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
