Thanks for that. Looks like a new standard board for me. Cheers

No problem jwmcgrath, wasn't upset with what you said as there was another guys that posted that he got his for $50. I too, wouldn't have been too upset about $50. Hopefully with a board replacement i can get it going. I really should have looked into phantoms before buying this one. There...

Actually I'm the OP and i paid $425 AUD for the thing so I'm not real happy about it. Seller had to know it wasn't working. Too trustworth i guess. Won't be buying second hand again unless i can see it working. Lesson learned. Can anyone tell me if an advanced or pro board will work with a 2.7K...

I have another question? If i buy an advanced or pro pcb will it still work with the 2.7K camera and gimbal and the remote i have or do i have to upgrade them aswell?

Ok, well i decided to tear my phantom down to do a bit more investigation. After getting the main pcb from the shell i had a closer look at the board. I definitely have a blown esc on motor 3. FETs are getting hot on that esc and others are cool. Components are also missing off the board either...

Light on the remote is red. So no connection. I have installed the app but haven't really played with it as the drone wouldn't fire up. I will have a go with it when i get home from work. Maybe it might tellme something.

Yeah, that's my thought too but i don't have another battery to try, to rule that out. May have buy a battery and a new main board.

As the manual says, press button once then press again and hold for two seconds, let go and all 4 leds are lit green. I have also checked voltage to pcb and it has voltage to it.

Yep been through the manual. Gives you nothing for when you have no lights or sound coming from a fully powered battery turned on.

Yep exactly. Fully charger battery in the drone with full 4 green lights drone does nothing, no lights on and no sounds from it.

Yep, lesson learned i guess. May have to use it for parts. Might need a new main board.

No lights at all and no sound from the drone. Like it's dead.

Didn't purchase it locally but seller was selling it as working.

Hi guys, bought a secondhand P3 standard (maybe a bad idea) which does not start up. Battery turns on with four leds lit but the drone does nothing. No lights, no sound, nothing. I popped the top cover and the main battery wires have battery voltage on the pcb to them so it's not a power issue...
