APM 2.6 not connecting to mission planner after burned battery monitor

Posted by Nikhil Upadhye on September 21, 2013 at 12:01pm

I am using APM 2.6 on Quadrotor. I had couple of flights with 4 cell lipo batteries. Today when I connected 4 cell battery to battery monitor, it burned off with smoke. I removed battery monitor and tried to arm APM but it did not arm. Now I am trying to connect it to mission planner but APM is not showing up in device manager and not able to connect to mission planer.

Green, Red and Blue leds on board are working but orange leds are not working at all. 

Any help in fixing APM issue and battery monitor will be appreciated.

    New battery??

    Reverse polarity by accident??

    "Smoke" normally means a " User Interface Problem"

    Need some pictures, first post of this scenario in a while, I think......

    2.5, 2.6 almost exactly the same, other that on 2.6 the mag is not on the main board, but on the GPS board...
