Hi all!
Thanks for reading this. I've had a crash with my Phantom 3 4K model. It hit a tree and came down from about 15 meters. The battery also flew out and is a total loss sadly.
When we examined the drone for damage we decided to replace the following parts since they had visible damage: the center board, a motor (cw), a flatcable running towards the camera/gimbal platform, and the plastic plate which is used to attach the camera/gimbal platform.
When we replaced everything I powered up the Phantom and hoped for the best. It made a connection to my remote controller and iphone. There was no camera image, and the gimbal was disconnected. After further inspection we missed a tear in the black flatcable that runs down the gimbal itself, so we'll have to replace that too.
But besides that i'd expect the phantom to be able to lift off. When I turn it on the Phantom makes the beeps, and you see the tiny movement in the props, so there must be power on them. It also connects to satelites outside. I just had to calibrate the compass but the overal status says 'ok'. But when I make the start move (sticks down and towards each other) the motors dont start. And when I slide to take off, nothing happens...
So what did we miss? Do i have to reset or re-install something on the brand new centerboard? We decided to not move the tiny sd card from the old to the new centerboard. Can the Phantom fly when the gimbal is disconnected? Do i somehow have to install new firmware to the centerboard? It doesnt give any specific directions on the iphone app.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
