Hello Everyone,
I am facing an issue since yesterday, When i turn my TX and RX on, the motor as well as servos on my plane start going off/jittering (See video)
Note that i resoldered my antenna to the receiver about a week or two back (didn't have problems before yesterday).
Problem goes off after i turn off my TX.

Please checkout the video showing this problem here : https://www.reddit.com/link/iv9jsb/video/lu71cqb0pxn51/player

Thank You

Did you take a picture before soldering and verified after rework ? no missing comments or solder bridges etc ?
Today might be a great and wonderful day. It depends on you.

Is the RX is in the same condition as showing in picture. please clean it with isopropyl first, there might be an short because of flux.

check this area with multimeter for any short
Nope, Not a short. Its just a reflection i guess.

Update: Now the tx and rx have completely stopped working :( TX powers on like usual but not the RX. As soon as i plug in the esc to rx, red light turns on for a fraction of a second and goes away. I tried to add a jumper between ground and signal on the reciever and now the red led on rx starts blinking (like it should do when a bind plug is inserted). However, i am not able to bind the rx to tx anymore.

Please take care and get well soon!

Do not shot pins. check the rx getting proper voltage. make sure 3.3 volt regulator functioning properly. you may lose rx while shorting pins
