Hi.
I have a Walkera Mini Lama v4-5 model helicopter, with two brush motors and two servos controlled by a 4-in-1 radio. It lost radio control (my fault, switched off the transmitter), broke a blade and the two rotors got tangled into each other. Engines got stalled, but were trying to spin at full power. Absorbed too much current, and something blew inside the 4-in-1; now it responds to servo movement, but doesn't spin up the motors. A new radio is quite expensive here, so I'm trying to repair the one I have. Here are the pictures. http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/6867/lamacent48lw.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/703/lamacent31tv.jpg (the board is horizontally reversed here) In a RC forum they suggested I replace the two mosfets you can see in the first image on the right, by the engine contacts. Testing them with the diode function of my multimeter gave incoherent results (extremely brief, high reading, followed by nothing), so I assumed they were toast as per suggestions. I removed them and soldered two new mosfets. Nothing changed. What's more, the new mosfets tested in the exact same incoherent way. I removed them from the circuit and retested them, and they are ok. This means the old mosfets were probably ok and the fault is somewhere else. Also, with the mosfets disconnected and the circuit off, I measured the resistance of the two engine contacts. One tests open, the other has a 130ohm resistance (if I'm reading the multimeter right). This seems weird, as the two connections are supposed to be the same. Any ideas? PS Keep in mind that while not absolutely totally electronic-illiterate, I'm very much new to this stuff. Please be specific about components and what I should do. Thanks. |
