Yes, it was the London DJI repair centre where they do the repairs on the premises. I must admit I do feel a bit smug and, overall, I was lucky that there was no internal damage.

I know it's closing the stable door after the horse - or, in this case, the drone has bolted but, in future, attach a small note to the bird giving your mobile number and, perhaps, a hint that a reward may be forthcoming upon it's return. There are some good people out there and it will...

About six weeks ago I bought my first bird - a P3S and, true to form for a beginner, i failed to set the rth height correctly, it clipped a tree and down it came through the branches resulting in the camera being torn off and damage to a mounting. Trying not to swear at my own stupidity, I...

I had a similar problem but cured it by recallibrating the r/c from the "Go" app - give it a try.

Tnx for the replies 1. Yes, I have tried all modes and none corrected the problem. 2. The r/c model nos. are the same, 3.I have tried recallibrating the r/c several times without success - the images on the app. correctly match the movement on the controls and "done" shows on completion of the...

After I "lost" my first P3S, I bought a replacement and, as a result, I now have two r/c's. The new outfit works perfectly so I decided to try flying with the "old" r/c with strange results. It linked easily with greens on both the drone and r/c so I took it to a local field to test it out. The...

Tnx to everyone! My son has another P3S and we tried with his r/c - it linked ok but still no luck. I think "epicdoom" has the answer - I'll pull it to pieces again and recheck the connections and if that doesn't work I'll consider seeking professional advice. Big trouble with that suggestion...

Yup!!

I have tried with props but no joy. Yes, both controls were "down and in". I only replaced the grey wiring harness as the ribbon "appeared" to be intact and properly seated.

Tnx for responding Eric. The original camera was undamaged so I only replaced the wiring loom that runs from the camera to the circuit board (is that what you mean by the "ribbon"?).I must confess,that "flashing the firmware" means nothing to me! Mike.

A crash removed my camera and gimbal so I bought some spares and set about the repair On completion, I switched on and, to my surprise, everything appeared to check out. I had greens on the drone and r/c, all parts of the app were reporting and the camera was recording so, with props removed, I...

Thanks for your help fellow droners - I'll give it a try!

Having lost my P3 R/C , I found another for sale on ebay. If I buy it will it readily link to my drone or am I buying problems?

Thanks for your interest Rod. No, I don't think I timed out when connection was lost - I was using the r/c at the time which doesn't have a time limit. I have also tried the "app" method without success.

Tried that many times without success!
