(RD13) RD13 will not fly with APM - APM is cooked

I just finished installing beta 42 into my older apm, and after doing all my configs , when I plug in my lipo in fly mode I get : Motor ESC chimes (indicating 3s) - one more beep means ready the APM then inits (A and C are strobing very fast) for about 1 sec, then A-C-A-C-A-C pause repeat. (this loop is about 1 second long) It does not do this if I am plugged into USB or in setup mode unless I try and run the IMU test in which case I think it cannot init the gyro? when I do test - imu it goes on forever with init gyro *****, the stars just keep going and it is repeating the LED pattern... Hmmm. According to Jason Short, the APM is probably cooked.
