I received my crazyflie today purchased from maker shed and am experiencing the following issues:

Self test failing out of the box.

After plugging in and charging fully I was able to connect via bluetooth from my phone and I attempted to power it up and only the motors on the left side are starting up the right side do not spin at all. I powered down and started back up and all 4 motor turn with four beeps and I attempt to again apply some thrust and only the right side motors function and it just flips over if I apply more thrust.

I shut it down and attempted to load the python client on my windows 7 system and could not get the crazyflie to connect it shows usb://0 i click connect and immediately get a popup error stating the crazyflie has disconnected.

I then loaded own my macbook pro and get the same error the crazyflie attempts to connect and fails stating the crazyflie was disconnected .

Thank for any assistance

It looks like it can be a broken sensor, cold soldering which is a know problem and can show up after a few crashes. Did you send us a support mail maybe? If not do that to support(at)bitcraze.io and we will help you out.
