If you've unfortunately fried you flight controllers processor, here is how to replace it. This video covers how to remove the old one, put in the new one, then test everything and flash new firmware. Keep in mind that the easiest way to do this is to pull a good processor off another damaged flight controller. I will make a separate video showing how to flash a new processor should you choose to use a new one.

The next video if you choose to use a new processor - youtube.com/watch?v=He2cGsaFXEI
