Try reinstalling the the newest firmware on the bird for each battery, worked for me, after clipping a tree branch and snapping a prop tip off. The motors would not start even though the app sais safe to fly.

How did you reinstall it? I'm assuming you downgraded and upgraded -- since you cannot reinstall the current firmware version.

Thats what I did, just reinstalled the firmware 1.06 on the bird and it solved the no start problem

I just put the chip back in the bird with the 1.06 bin file on, and rebooted, let me know if it works for you

I have the 1.6 bin in now and it still doesn't let me take off its giving me the ESC status error

Was the remote turned on when you reinstalled? I am new at this too, maybe I just got lucky.

Newly · Jan 3, 2016

My problem was that the motors would not start even when the green safe to fly status was on

Captdre · Jan 3, 2016

No it says to leave remote off so I reinstalled with the remote off, I'm new to this too and it's killing me that I've owned it for only 3 wks

I called dji support and was # 48 in line and, by # 38 I had the bin file reinstalled and it worked. So I dropped the call

You most likely fried an esc. You cannot fix this and the main board needs to be replaced. Send her back to dji.

I had the same issue with my nearly brand new P3 Adv. My only option was to ship it back to DJI for warranty repair.

The ESC's seem pretty on on the p3. Did you crash it or the error just randomly appeared?

NorthGAP3Pilot · Mar 5, 2016

It just randomly appeared. I've never crashed it, banged it into anything, or even landed it hard. Prior to the ESC error, it had flown 25 smooth, easy flights. The most trauma it had experienced was a 10 mph wind. So, you can imagine my disappointment when this happened less than 2 months after I bought it.
