Hi everyone, An update to my issue with the GL300E controller. Tried powering it with my bench supply set to 8,6 volts, about 150mA current draw, but the same problem, doesn't start up. Tried heating a few small chips near the battery input connector as Ive read that there is a chip there...

Thanks for the replies. I have tried seeing if the screen brightness is all the way down. No, that's not it. I doesn't actually power on at all. I tried the suggested Force Reboot combo, it cycles the battery level leds and faintly beeps about once a second, but doesn't power on. Im going to...

Hi Everyone, Recently I pulled my Phantom 4 Pro Plus out for a fly. It'd been in storage for about 2 months. The Drone itself seems fine, but the controller has an issue. It wont power on. If I press the power button all battery level leds light and the thing beeps at me. the usual press...

Hi waterwin, I found some graphite based paint and applied that in the areas that the copper tape was previously. So far all is well, no more range issues. Regards, Raff

Hi all, Well i have tested the drone quite a bit, and it seems fixed! Next trouble is, I crashed it, it clipped HT power lines that were above it. I didn't see them and neither did it, fell about 20 metres to the ground. I have replaced the broken legs but noticed there seems to be some sort...

Well ****, its back to its old bad behaviour, this fault sure is frustrating! I have tried all the usual tricks, even bought a brand new Sandisk Extreme Pro SD card, it still glitches. I think Ill send it off to DJI next. Regards, Raff

Hi all, Well during the holiday break I had a chance to test the Phantom and I'm pretty sure I have fixed it! Turns out there must have been 2 faults. I still had troubles with range and the video feed dropping out, so I decided to swap the SD card and that was it, no more troubles. Odd...

Hi Menon, I meant that the drone loses control signal and triggers a return to home at around 100 to 500 odd metres away. The video feed from the drone is also bad and drops out as well, sometimes even only 70 odd metres away. Regards, Raff

Hi everyone, a while back I bought a used P4P Obsidian, it had known issues so was rather inexpensive. The major issue with it was lack of control and video feed range. After reading the forums and trying all sorts, nothing seems to have worked. I recently acquired a spectrum analyser that...
