Good Evening,
I wonder if anyone is familiar with this issue and could possibly chime in…
I have been testing a Quantum I recently built and am having a hard time isolating the problem I’m encountering.
When the issue is present, the quantum only beeps once shortly at power up and can’t be paired with. After most attempts to flip the power switch again, it powers right up, gives the 3 longs chirps like normal and pairs…but sometimes a gently tap or pressure on the WiFi chip is the only thing that helps. I then saw the drogue output wasn’t working so I reflowed the optoisolators as well as the WiFi chip. This fixed the drogue continuity problem but It is still temperamental at start up. (Sometimes only beeping once, then works fine when I reset the pull pin and try again) I also noticed the 4th nylon sled mounting screw next to the WiFi chip must be left out or I only get the one beep. (That’s what made me think it was the WiFi chip, as pressure and torsion have causes failure) I have checked all 16 legs on the chip and the rest of the board for poor connection and bridges but to no avail. Is there anything I may be missing or a specific part failure that would cause this? I’m stumped!
Thank you for your help,
Alexander C
