I recently bought a new Arducopter Hexa from 3DRobotics. I was able to fly 3 times (each flight only about 5 minutes) and now for no reason the APM does not start when I plug in a battery. It first happened after a short test flight, I unplugged the battery and plugged it in about 2 minutes later and it does not work. I figured out that the power module between the battery and the power distribution board gives only 0.4V to the APM. Giving the AMP power via USB is doing just fine.
I did not add any components and i use only the components from the 3DRobotics Hexacopter set.
I hope you can help me

There have been a few PM's go out with dry solder joints on the main battery wires.
Check you module on both sides to be sure this is not the problem, as the heat shrink tends to hide it.
