Make sure the software from DJI is also updated. If that doesnt help maybe there is some corruption in the app and a reinstall would help. beyond that, it may just be a "report and wait" situation. Also remember that once you have your phone set up to be used in your Osmo mobile 2 you dont...

Nosir. 150 tops. then maybe buy a new part to replace the cracked one. assuming thats all thats wrong with it and i wouldnt buy it unless i could fly it to make sure it wasnt complete carp.

I hate to be another person asking ifyou will sell part of the kit, but i am gonna be... would you be willing to sell the kit without the iPad? My uncle is shopping for his first DJI drone and this is the model he wants but hes already an avid iPad owner. :)

Here in the USA sometimes we get temporary no fly zones where it is normally fine to fly. Mayne that's the cause?

Good news today! After nearly a full disassembly the ribbon cable has been replaced and the drone is now working and fully functional! The part comes in a set for 15 bucks from my local DJI retailer and ive seen it on amazon for 25. Fortunately it wasnt the IMU or Flight Control boards. I will...

i think it would be great if it just went to the app itself and gave the users a placebo of actually reporting them. lol. since most times they just want to complain to someone and feel superior to the hedonistic drone pilots it could provide an outlet for their rage that doesnt involve them...

Found the culprit.

Update on the Drone's state: It was having an IMU error, it wasnt showing its state in my warning and error messages so i opened it up, checked the connections, and gave it a mild flick of the old fingers and then powered it up. now its reading as normal, but im still not getting a bsttery...

So heres the log from the first crash, went under the pier and lost GPS so it went into ATTI mode and drifted into a pylon... DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com Heres the log from after i tested it after the pylon/drone love scene DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com And heres the last...

Well on first inspection of the pins they all SEEM to be in line, but its difficult to know if they are functioning properly until i dig in. at this point its time to crack open the body and look at the internal components to ensure everything is hooked up properly and nothing is burnt from the...

I should also mention that the remote connects to the drone well and when i push the stick left and right i get the usual response from the gimbal. it pretty much does everything except read the battery level and start the rotors. and of course theres the rapidly flashing yellow lights.

This is awesome! thanks for the link. So one thing i noticed during my trial power up is that there is no battery level reading... so im thinking there may be a problem with the module that meters the battery. this happens with both the batteries so im thinking its one of the internal parts.

so just plugging in a battery and booting it up, had a normal boot up time and beeps, rear lights during warm up flash red-green-yellow, then after warm up have a long red light and several yellow flashes. i know there are error codes displayed by the lights but i cant find what each one means...

Not even a scratch on visual inspection of the batteries. Battery cells are all in decent shape and reacting to charging well. Going to test it later to see if it boots up fully and gets the rotors turning.
