So my Exceed RC CF-18 is no longer working. I took it out for a flight yesterday and finished off with a nice landing. Brought it home, charged the battery and put the jet away for today's flight. When I plugged the battery into the Hornet today, nothing happened. I unplugged it and plugged it in again and still nothing. I even tried my other three batteries. All batteries have been tested to show good voltage (approx 12.2V). I did notice, however, that all servos would move ever so slightly everytime I would plug the battery in. Now all control surfaces are a maximum deflection, so there is some amount of energy reaching the components. However, the electronics do not make the normal chime sound to indicate functionality. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I've looked everything over and it all seems to be connected. To be honest, I'm not sure what could have happened as I haven't tampered with anything. Thanks.

i would almost guarantee that one of your motor wires came out, either in the motor (hopefully not), the solder or plug where you connect the motor to the esc, or on the esc itself.
try moving your control surfaces, if you can do that they it is ^^^ problem. if you can not move the control surfaces then you might have fried your esc
