Is my cube dead?
I have a cube black in a large X8. It was on 4.0.7. It has not flown in years and I was trying to get it back up and running. I was replacing the telemetry set up with some RFD900X and a TXMOD we recently got.
I recently started getting the SB2 warning when starting Mission Planner. I’ve made sure my parameters are set per SB2. I think my cube is of the age where it would be impacted.
(BRD_TYPE == 3,EK2_IMU_MASK == 7,(or EK3_IMU_MASK == 7 if using EKF3),INS_USE == 1,INS_USE2 == 1,INS_USE3 == 1 ) On 4.4.1 I had EK3 and on 4.0.7 it was EK2.
I also upgrade to 4.4.1. I got the following messages:

I tried going back to 4.0.7 and now get

I have tried clearing the firmware by resetting parms to default then updating to Plane 4.4.1 and then back to Copter4.4.1. I get the same errors. Even when I am on Plane 4.4.1 I see the same issue.
In reading some older posts I checked HW ID page and I don’t think it is picking up any of the sensors.
HWID screen shows
I have screen shots of the HWID screen from some time ago and this is what it use to look like.
I have tried various combinations of resetting parameters, reloading old parameters, but no matter what I have tried I seems to be stuck on these errors.
I have several other old black cubes and they seem fine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
