WOW really?? bought brand new P3 and it wouldn't activate...sent it back for repair and now it's worse..... put the battery in and now shuts down immediately..at least I got to the activation process before..yeah you'll be getting this back..DJI is pretty much garbage now.

Yes...just bought a dji Phantom 3 barebones BRAND NEW ...Meaning..no remote and no camera...everything switched over just fine..can see the camera view for a second , so you know everything works...but then this activation process kicks in...and that's where you get F**ed...half dozen different...

I replaced my board and checked it to see if flew and it did. However I also needed a couple of updates. After the udates is when I started getting this error. Sometimes it will start up but, more often will not and this error comes up...I'm wondering if it's more of a software glitch.

I recalibrated the controller as well and then it seemed to work fine ubtil I shut the unit down and then came back...very hit and miss with more on the miss side...worked a couple of times and the esc error keeps coming back...seems like a software glitch to me.

Parts are TINY and would require microscopic soldering techniques

A couple of things in the phantom3 pro/adv I've noticed while doing some reading. I have the phantom 3 advance and yep, I crashed it. I went out over the lake I live on, only about 30 feet above the water and strait out. I didn't notice that after I went a ways out that i had rotated it...

Yeah..my camera gimbal broke too and it really wasn't that high of a fall. Iv'e also noticed a design flaw on the main board...a couple of cable connections very close to the skin. So, if you take a fall in the right(wrong) way it and the arms flex it will cause the skin to make contact with...

I just crashed mine through trees flying backwards in late evening and in the process the camera was ripped right off it. I got the same thing as others in this thread seem to have, that when i tried to start it up, it was saying no signal. I will have my new camera on friday(2 days) and will...
