Default Broken vbar?

My ESC did little fireworks after connecting battery. It burned inside, did no other damage on heli. I replaced it for a new one today, but it seems that I now have issue with vbar.

Sometiemes it initializes just fine, but sometimes it won't initialize and this is what I find in logs when it doesn't:
0:00 Sensor Connection broken
0:00 Satellite Data out of synchronization
0:00 Satellite Data out of synchronization
0:00 DANGER!!! Supply Voltage dropped below 3.5V

Apart from this, its seems to be working normally on bench.

I'm worried that my vbar got damaged by some voltage spike from burned ESC.
Or maybe its just caused by different type of connectors that I have now on my ESC and BEC. Maybe while connecting the battery, it connect, looses connection and connects again quickly, causing the sensor to brown out and not initialize.

What do you guys thing? I'm really worried to fly it right now, I have had too much issues recently as is, really can't afford to crash because of broken vbar.

Its Blueline fullsize vbar, Western Robotics BEC, SBUS receiver.

Any help greately appreciated, thanks!

Same thing happens when I power it with receiver batery and use switch to turn it on.
So I guess there is really something wrong with my vbar

Sounds like its damaged, not unusual when a BEC blows up.

BEC didn't blow up, it was Scorpion OPTO 130A ESC. I also have Western Robtics BEC, and that seems to be working..

Anyway, does mikado have some service (in europe)? Is it worth trying? It's might not be repairable imho.
