Just installed my new jive...7 blinks

[Aeolus1]

I just received my replacement esc from Germany last week. I did not install anything besides the ec5 and motor bullets. Just yesterday I stayed up all night to finish my goblin 500, installed kde g3 motor ( nice quality!).

I plug In my battery, all I get is 7 blinks. I look in the manual and it was polarity error. Why did I get this error when my connectors where installed the correct way?

Has to go back again???

I just sent one in also with a 7 blink light...
just received a email that it was to expensive to repair it.
and was not covered by warranty for some reason....I asked why and was told mechanical error????
any ways I was offered a replacement at a discount...

I had this issue before and it was a jumper plug issue. I made myself a new plug via a modified bind plug and it worked like a champ after that.

Correction - mine was 6 blinks. Oops...

Was the discount reasonable?

had the esc been crashed?

[jstalnaker70]

it was never crashed by myself .
I can not say for sure if it was from the previous owner
but it did work fine on other heli's and worked fine on the bench also

My guess would be that it was crashed by previous owner. There is no way they can warranty mechanical damage to an esc. This would explain why it worked fine and then failed.

[jstalnaker70]

there was no physical damage to it.
so idk

AFAIK Kontronik warranty is non-transferable. Would mechanical damage also describe overheating and desoldering or in other words, would a warranty cover this?
