Quasar 7075 LMT sudden failure

[Smoggie]

I had a lucky escape with my G630 today. I want to the field for a few flights with the Goblins and my Chase 360. I flew the chase first, all was fine, then went to fly the Goblin.

I powered up the Goblin and all seemed ok, the LED on the Spirit FBL lit up and the servos centred, then I realised I'd stupidly not changed model memories in the Tx so I had no bind with the heli. I powered down the heli changed model memory and powered back up. This time when I powered up the heli the servos and FBL didn't initiate The ESC/motor beeped to count off the cells, so I knew power was on at the ESC but apparently the BEC wasnt outputting voltage to the FBL. It's fitted with Gryphon Quasar 7075 LMT, I noticed that it wasn't lighting up like it normally does. There was no obvious wiring or connection fault so I had to abandon flying the Goblin for the day.

When I got home I tested the BEC and it was dead as a door nail, no LED's, zero volts at the output, nada. Luckily I had a spare which I had put aside for my Kasama Dune so I fitted the spare and all started working fine. I opened up the faulty one but there was nothing obviously wrong, it wasn't a broken wire because my multimeter told me that power was getting through to the PCB, there were no obviously burned components.

So anyone ever experienced anything similar? Seems like it failed during the power down and power up cycle when I changed model memories.

I have a similar result after powering up. But it wasn't because I chose a current model. I think others have problems with this product.

I opened it up & could not see any burn marks & signs of failure. I gave up & went to straight 2S lipo.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm sure changing models had nothing to do it other than it caused me to power cycle the BEC.
