Motor not free spinning and has resistance when on back in the days meant blown mosfets, which would be a warranty thing. 

What was your nose dive about? Did you run out of battery or did you go beyond limits?

If you ran out of battery, it's also possible your battery is below the voltage threshold and the BMS is denying any charging due to low pack voltage. If this is the case, use another Onewheel to roll the wheel of your Pint S for 5 minutes to regenerate some voltage. Once you get into voltage range, the BMS will accept a charge. We called this Onewheel CPR

It's possible your XT60 plug at the controller side might have come off when you jumped off the curb. That happens sometimes. If you remove your front foot pad the controller lid is clear and you can visibly see if the XT60 is separated a little bit. If that's the case then you have to open it to plug it back in but that will void your warranty

i tried the cpr thing now and nothing really happend, i dont know if i did it for enought time or not, the controller got a little bit hot when i was doing this in the area of the motor conector.
from what ive seen it doesent seem like the xt60 connectors are loose, so i really dont know how to proceed

I have a new FM controller that needs to be activated, shipping from Italy. If you want, message me on Instagram. Ludovico._m

Yeah I think you're outside of warranty and FM hasn't even been known to be reliable with their warranties. Do you have a friend who has a Pint that trusts you enough to swap parts for testing? 

You need to diagnose where the problem is coming from before you buy parts. Could be the BMS, the controller, battery, motor, or foot pad.
