Motors not starting on my P3A

[pounder35]

I went for a short flight this morning and when landing in a paved parking lot the bird tipped backwards and two rotors jammed. I hit the power off but had to do that twice before the motors stopped. I set the P3A upright and fired up the motors.Three started .I powered down again and checked for free play in all the motors. Everything felt fine but when I tried to power up again nothing worked. I wouldn't think it would be an overheating issue since I've had the same problem before on landings with another P3A and and a P2. I'm using the Litchi app and camera works fine. It just that the motors won't start up. Any ideas? I really would like to have the drone working for an event on the first weekend of November.

Are you getting ESC errors?

What @Oso is asking for is:
When the Flight Controller refuses to start motors, it sends back error code to the Mobile App, and the app shows corresponding message. You need to share that message.

I once even made a list of the codes and corresponding messages, but that didn't got much traction:

Phantom 3 Pro/Adv error codes

I've noticed there's no such list posted; the Dji Go app always explains what each code means, so it's not as important to have it; anyway, here it is: error 1 Compass error! Compass Error. Restart Required. Contact DJI Support if this persists. 1. Switch off your drone, and start it again...

Are you getting ESC errors?

Where would I see error codes? I have a feeling it might be a ESC problem but unlike my P2 that had separate ESC boards the P3 ESC seems to be integrated into the main board.

Below is a snippet from the link @quaddamage gave you earlier in post 3. It notes that you can see the error in your log, in the app, and gives some suggestions for troubleshooting.

The go app may well show a pop up message concerning the esc error, I have a drone doing this and attached is a screen capture of the go app warning
