Mission Planner Showing Ridiculous Readings APM 2.6

[JAdame]

I have an APM 2.6. I was told that I need to install version 3.2.1 of the firmware of Mission Planner into it so I did. The firmware downloaded successfully and I am able to connect with the COM port, however when I see the flight data, the readings are super wonky. The image is attached.

Before I could move the board and the Mission Planner would reflect it on the Flight Data simulation. Now it';s not registering any movements.

There was also a weird issue where the red LEDs wouldn';t turn on when connected via USB, and because of this, APM would not connect via COM on Mission Planner. I fixed this by cutting the power cable of the USB and connecting the board to the battery first (Where the red LEDs did turn on) and then via USB. It connected.

I';d like to know what is causing this. Is there more information I should provide?

Looking at your altitude and vertical speed you are falling  down a  very deep hole.
I suspect you have a duff USB lead and not enough power from the port. Hope this helps.

Can you explain what that means? I';m a little new at this. Thank you.

I tried resetting. It still shows that the barometer won';t initialize and that my height and vertical velocity are in the 10 thousands, negative or positive. I';ve tried different USBs, computers, and USB ports, and the APM still refused to connect with mission planner unless it was powered by the battery along with being connected via USB..

The barometer still won';t work. In the terminal I still get the reading: PANIC: AP_Baro_m(numbers) did not initialize after 1000ms

At this point would it be a better choice to just replace the APM board?

If the board worked fine before you could try going back to your old firmware, if it is still wonky after that then the board could be damaged.
