Have you soldered any of the motor wires yet, or is this fresh out of the box? You can test your motor connections for short-circuits with a multimeter, you should read 2 ohms and change across the pair of pads for each motor. If you get significantly less, then the pads are bridged (or you have a bad motor), and the short-circuit may keep the Crazyflie from booting up (I think I read that somewhere...)
You can check the voltage between the +/- pads on the top side near the USB jack, should be ~5V when charging, otherwise something is wrong with the USB jack. VCC to DGND (pads near the center of the top) should be ~3V whether charging or powered on, otherwise something is wrong with the voltage regulator.
Thanks for your reply jweather.
I haven't done anything to the crazyflie yet. I was following the instructions here --
http://wiki.bitcraze.se/projects:crazyf ... s:assembly and it says:
Before you go ahead and assemble the Crazyflie check the Crazyflie control board and the Crazyradio electronics:
1. Attach a powered micro-USB cable to the Crazyflie control board. It should power up and blink 5 times with the green LED. After that the green LED should be fully on and the red LED should blink.

So I can't even complete step #1 and didn't really want to continue working on it if my unit won't even pass the power-on test. The instructions don't mention anything of turning the power switch on but I also tried doing that with it plugged in with no avail. No lights whatsoever come on.
Hope that helps to clarify better.
Thanks,
Kevin
