The stormcore doesn’t turn on

You can try the troubleshooting steps here to see what’s going on

Is it possible to resurrect this dead VESC?

There are a few things you can check continuity on a 3.3v pin to ground continuity on a 5v pin to ground continuity on that 2 pin V+/GND. That’s after the anti-spark system so it’s useful for checking shorts on the power stage Hold the power button and feel if precharge resistors (the three big resistors marked “1000”) are getting hot. Recommended to use a CC/CV power supply to watch amps, and limit power into the ESC. If any of those are short, it helps narrow down what failed.
