"I just reset to factory settings and recalibrated everything. That has fixed the motor problem. But now when I switch to flight mode the motors do not arm.
Any ideas anyone. Thanks

Complete nooby query. When I plug the lipo into one of my ESCs there are no beeps at all, whereas the other three ESCs do beep. What could be the problem? Is the ESC faulty? Any help greatly appreciated.
