First Quadcopter (Drone) Repair

I thought it would be worthwhile posting this one as i'm sure i will be seeing a lot of them in future. This guy would run through its startup diagnostics then just stop and one of the motors would twitch, bleep and flash its LED in a regular pattern. This indicated a communication failure to that rotor. After a lengthy mess around I found the problem was a bad solder joint on the main processor board (Pictured above). I'm sure these gadgets will have a few bumpy landings to deal with so personally I think the fragile processor cradle could benefit from a little beefing up on the next generation
