    R.I.P. or will she be resuscitated?

    Something to try If you'd like to open the top cover that covers the GPS antenna (2 screws has Parrot printed on it) then unscrew the gps antenna carefully resting it to the side leaving the thin coax attached to the board. Under that you will see the motor controller board (esc) fixed...
