I have a Meteor 65 and 75 with SPI ELRS. This happened to both within a couple of months, wondering if anyone knows what is going on?

  • I was flying around normally having fun
  • I stopped to change batteries
  • Put the new battery in and it only does the first 3 beeps
  • There is no signal on the goggles
  • Plug the flight controller into Betaflight and the VTX (I think) starts smoking

The first time this happened, I cleaned everything up and it started working again but with very poor VTX signal. So I replaced the VTX and shortly after the accelerometer or gyro went out forcing me to replace the flight controller.

Now this just happened again on a different Meteor and before I go through the same steps as last time I’m wondering if anyone has some advice. Thanks.

    Did you find out what the mistake was then? Was everything okay with the lipo?

      Unfortunately no. It hasn’t happened again yet. I’ve switched to the HGLRC Zeus Nano VTX as a replacement for the stock one. Haven’t had an issue with those yet.

      Are you having the same issue? If you figure it out let me know. I still have one with that setup.

        I have a few of BetFPV. But never had or heard such a problem. I would have been interested in what it was. But if you can fly now it’s good :)
