Scorpion XXL help

On my Scorpion, The right motor terminal works, but any motors put in the left terminal won't move or anything (yes, I have tried using different motors). Does anyone know how I could fix this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Damien

Sounds like blown fets or the driver chip. What was the last thing you did with it while it was working. Also have you tried swapping the channel on your radio over to check the link?

Yeah, I've tried swapping the channels (and the modes as well). The last thing I did with it was calibrating it. So the motor status LED will still go on even if it's blown?
