All,
I bought my P3 Pro in March. I have had zero problems with it and after reading all the horror stories about the Firmware updates, I have never done any to my P3P. A few weeks back, I noticed that when I powered off my battery, the red indicator light on the push button "blinks" several times as it is powering down. (like for 5-10 seconds). I thought nothing of it as everything else worked fine. Then a few days later something else started happening that concerned me, sometimes when I powered everything up, the screen on the app (I use an iPad mini mounted on my RC) wouldn't display the camera image. all It would show was a DJI logo on a black screen. The drone would operate (fly) fine, you just had no image on the screen. After powering down and powering back up or swapping to my 2nd battery, it would work fine.
Well, yesterday I was going to fly up and take some video of local firework displays in my area and I had no display on my screen like mentioned above (just a DJI logo on a black screen). So I decided It was probably time to upgrade all the firmware on RC, drone, App and the batteries. It has been nothing but a headache. My problem seems to be that the RC updated great thru the App, but the aircraft will not start the process of updating. I have watched many YouTube videos on how to do this. I even had an online chat with DJI customer service last night for almost an hour.
After I download the BIN file from the DJI website and "unzip" it, place it on my mini SD stick and then insert the card into my aircraft, nothing seems to happen.............
Below is what I am seeing when I insert my card with the BIN file on it:
-Gimbal is "limp"
-lights on under side of drone are blinking yellow
-RC is obviously not connected to the aircraft
my gimbal indication light never lights up green/red indicating that the firmware is being installed
-no beeping sound coming from the aircraft, indicating that the firmware is being installed.
Any help that someone can give me is GREATLY APPRECIATED! I bought this to take awesome beach video on my vacation that is scheduled for July 23rd, and I am trying all I can to get it back up and flying for my trip.
Obviously, I am very frustrated. DJI customer service has advised me to call a Technician/Engineer to help troubleshoot my problems. I will be calling evening when I get off work to try and resolve this issue.
I was hoping someone here has had these problems and could advise on things I can try to get my drone back flying.
Thanks in advance.
