    • Disconnect the battery and power off the drone.
    • Visually inspect the battery for any signs of swelling, leakage, or damage.
    • Examine soldering points and connections for looseness or corrosion.
  2. Battery Diagnosis:

    • Measure battery voltage using a multimeter.
    • Ensure proper charge levels and balance across cells.
    • Replace the battery if significant degradation is observed.
  3. PMU Inspection:

    • Check PMU connections with components like the flight controller and ESC.
    • Inspect for physical damage or burnt marks on the PMU circuit.
    • Use diagnostic LED indicators (if available) to verify functionality.
  4. Repair and Maintenance:

    • Resolder any loose or weak connections.
    • Replace damaged components such as cables or connectors.
    • Secure all connections and reassemble the drone.
  5. Final Testing:

    • Reconnect the battery and power on the drone.
    • Perform a test flight to ensure proper functioning.
    • Monitor for any abnormal behavior or power fluctuations.
