Hello,

I have my crazyflie for a something like 2 months and i was really happy with it until i was replacing the motors because he crashed really hard but after i start him up he started smoking and i saw some sparks and i saw to one of the compunents next to one of the Regulators there was a component losse an i tryed to repaird it but it didn't help. What should i do now? because i really loved the drone and i am really sad that it broke so i orderd now a new one, but still is there something i can do to repair it or get maybe a new one?

hope to here soon something.

It is probably possible to fix if it is just burnt on the surface. If the inner layers of the PCB is damaged it can be a lot trickier. How experienced are you with electronics? The regulator, 6-leg chip, is probably damaged and maybe some traces. The traces could probably be repaired and the regulator exchanged but it might require some electronics experience. You can have a look at the electronics design in kicad to find out how it should look like.
