I’m back. Ok looking at the wires leading to the connecTommantor there are no bare wires showing. The outside of the wires are a little scorched and the only damage to the connector is some scorching..Whatever the connector next to thr gps port took the bulk of the scorching.
I checked under the scorched area and don’t see any breed through.
I will tell you this much it happened in seconds after the solo reboot.
I guess to could have been a coincident, but I don’t believe in them and yet.
Tell me what you need, I’m not looking for anything other then what caused it.
Do you want more pics or I can send the whole Sabang so you can look at it.
This drone is now for parts.
Thommann, I don't doubt that it happened just after install, but my feeling is, as another user mentioned, something came into contact with the area that burned. Keep in mind the GPS is a 5v circuit, the only 2 wires i care about thar would cause something to burn, is power and ground. The power wire is correct on the photos you posted, so, the only other end that would matter, for power, would be the end that plugs into the gps itself. If that's correct, while the gps could have any other combination wrong, it wouldn't work, but it would rule out the gps causing this because all tbe other wires associated with a gps, are basically data. Rx/ tx etc.
I'd just like to see a photo of that connector inside the gps, that would eliminate that.
Having said that, at this point, it doesn't matter, let's get you flying. I do have a spare main board, and I'd be willing to rebuild this for you, we can work put the details later, unfortunately, the timing is not great, as my shop will be closed this coming week and next for the Holiday, as is noted at the bottom link with my schedule. Matt alerted me to your issue, so I jumped in to assist, and as I stated, regardless of what the cause is, I can help you out, I'm just fairly certain, its pretty impossible for the GPS to cause that. If you look at the main connector (Yellow), directly in front of where the damage is, you will see buss traces, that come from main power... that's where something shorted, Or failed.

jester,I just noticed you earlier post. This tread is in two places. It started off as a leveling problem, which I eliminated by reinstalling a black cube. Anyway I’m uploading the shot your looking for. The unit smells scorched but looks fine inside to me.
