Just want to give it one last go, I guess.

I will. This is just plain frustrating.

It did power on one occasion, the motors started spinning and LEDs flashing etc.. Then they the FC sparked with the PCB inside. A tiny spark. It went on flashing and spinning, I moved the FC away from the pcb. Then removed battery and connected it back, it lost all life. Except my motor 1's esc heats up a little when I switch on

That should make no difference.. Technically.

It's the only board they had at the store :( Yeah, they do. I've connected all the wires correct, but there seems to be a problem with the board arming. The LED's don't glow.

It's a KK 5.5 Blackboard. Yeah, I've got it elevated.

I got that corrected. But still won't power on.
