Very true ...forgot about just about everything we do has a link connection to the net now. Puts DJI way down the list of spy mechanisms.

Im having trouble working out how any of my flight images and or data is getting from my P4 to the RC and into my DJI goggles and then back to China when a lot of my flights are not in cell phone areas and do not use a phone to fly with anyway. In todays news there was a couple that went...

Technically its not the drone sending receiving data its your phone or ipad. So it would be hard to blame DJI solely for "data leakage" if there was any. Your service provider, Apple, Samsung etc. are all complicit in data transfer. Easy to get round technically if some have an issue.

I Know this is old thread but My 4K did same and I went through all that stuff...reflowing a few times only have it revert back to old problem weeks later but the best solution for me was to install a simple battery toggle switch on the back. It simply disconnects voltage to the board (as in the...

Looking for advice on building a simple hook underneath my old p3 to deploy a hook line and sinker. I know ther is an accesorary for this but it's very expensive . I was hoping some have used a simple wire hook bent at an angle that when stopped the loop will just fall off. Or a turn and...

I'm on my 5th reflow of the 8 legged gas gauge voltage regulator chip.....the one next to the last led. The last reflow I had the heat gun at 375 degrees c and held it on that little sucker for a count of 20. As I have been finding that the problem seems to return after the rc has been sitting...

Yes ..... For some reason my battery output on the rc totally failed so I separated the cells and bypassed the balance board by soldering to the battery wires directly on the the output side of the balance board. The cells now output 8.3 v fully charged and works a treat. Have to reflow the...

Do you mean a magnifying glass, fine soldering iron, and a steady hand?

Will that work on a p4 not advanced my existing RC is a GL300c (not ver. 2)

I like the fact you can get some charge from the USB but doubt a 5v USB will ever charge a 7.6v RC battery to full capacity. Would work as a "trickle" charge and may prevent what I am suspecting is a voltage overload from the charging port (17.5v) down to rc battery (7.6v). It does seem that the...

I don't think it discharges like the "smart" flight batteries do. There is some issue with heat though and the guy who suggested replacing the voltage read ic chip mentioned the little heat sink between the board and chip. I can't find the link now but will keep searching. I think its a "tin" or...

I'm pretty sure its this component (possibly the CW2015 gas gauge thingy) because I have been concentrating 300' C on this and the capacitors to the right for a maximum of 30secs. with a heat gun fitted with the small (8mm) nozzel. This is my 4th reflow attempt all have lasted about three weeks...

Its possible that the 17.5V charging voltage is affecting the 7.6 V reading circuit and damaging the circuit in the process. If so I'm considering a reflow again and charging the 7.6V battery from an external port in the body to the battery with a dedicated 7.6 charger. It will mean mounting a...

Thanks Gaucho for your process. Can you post a review of how it goes over the next 3 weeks as this seems to be the limit for me of the reflowing process before it reverts back to fault and show a low battery charge again. I have noticed that the RC gets hot when charging in the area just in from...

A BIG thank you to Ashy01 for the pic of the offending area. I have had issues with mine too but after your description I went back in and put 350' c on that little sucker for 15 seconds and another 15 on the other side for good measure. I had been reflowing for 3 times previous generally all...
