IMU shield/ oilpan gyro problem

I am using configurator v1.2.1 and software 1.31 for my arducopter.
The gyros do not show any movement when I twist and turn the quad.
The acell pitch and roll move all over but the gyros stay centered and do not move.
I ran APM_ADC test using the serial port and the numbers show the gyros are not moving.
I did re-sets and initialized EEPROM but still no go.
I moved to v1.33 and still the gyros do not move.
They have never moved and now I am stuck.
Do you know if I can send the board in for testing or repair?
Will I have to purchase another board?
Is there a way to test a new board to see that the gyros and accel's work?
Thank you for any help.

  • Just another question on this. If all is programmed correctly and you only connect the APM and IMU. Does the artificial horizon also move?
    Gyros, acelland pitch indicators move.
