Actually, never mind, although the light doesn indeed keep flashing, it does in fact start up the drone and control it just fine.

**** it all. Now I'm seeing that the controller, when turned on has the green light flashing incredibly rapidly between red and green, just a blur. And it won't start the drone at all. Any idea what that means? Is it maybe a mismatch of firmware (with no way to upgrade the firmware?) Phil

Good morning, here is a transcript of the email I just sent to DJI support. I feel like I'm about to give up on this drone altogether which would be a great same as it's a good drone... Good morning, thanks for your kind message. Here is my update. I put a microSD card with the bin file on it...

Hi again. I figured I would attach a few images of both radio controller and the drone just in case the something to do with the model number that is preventing the firmware from updating. I hope that you will be up to help some more.

Good morning. OK. I decided to take the plunge and try to install the firmware this morning. Attached is a screenshot of the root directory of the thumb drive. I put this into the remote controller and turned it on. I waited and waited and nothing happened. I know it was supposed take 60...

Wow! This is such great info. Thanks!

Yeah, I added the BIN file to the root. Thanks. I'll let you know how I get on.

Okay, I have downloaded the firmware and put it onto the root of a thumb drive. I think and away until the previous owner can get together with me so we can do it together because should it mess the whole thing up in some way I don't want to find myself left holding a lemon. Am I being...

Gah. I plugged It in with the cable and it said that it was setting it up. It then said that it had finished setting up and it was successfully installed. I can see it named G5 (it is an LG G5) only click on it it appears to be empty. This may be expected behaviour? What do you think? I have...

Thanks! Scary stuff! I'll try to make this happen. I see it is the gl300b RC. Does that make a difference? So I guess I should download the file from the link you sent me and install into the root directory of both the thumb drive and a microSD card. Then I should update with the thumb drive in...

I am out and about right now and about to go to physical therapy (ooh, me aching back!) but will check later and let you know. Thanks again.

It says disconnected. Does that mean your advice with the poking of the button on the drone is still valid? Thanks SO much for sticking with me on this I really appreciate it and sorry I'm so dumb about all this! I am really a still photographer and know a LOT about that but this is all new to me!

Thanks so much. I think I'll have some time to look into this this afternoon but the camera still goes up and down. Doesn't that mean the RC is connected to the drone?

I can try that but I tried it with my phone (brand new USB C cable) AND with my tablet (USB...'old'? 2?) with the same results.

Oh right, I see. Yes, I'll try that. Thanks.
