Thanks everyone! Yea, it's a case of right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing I'm sure. In any case credit made it to card today. I'm hyped to give Dave's Discount motors a shot, they sound really great in that thread you sent (Thanks!). Calling them right after I finish this to...

So quick update...DJI is not very good at customer service. More to follow, suffice to say things did not go smoothly and I am now awaiting a refund to actually get applied to my credit card (not what I asked for, I asked to have the unit replaced) so that I can repurchase 'again'...but THIS...

Yea I hear you...I guess I should get some nerve up and take a look. So I've watched a couple videos on opening up and the GPS location etc. I suppose I can at least confirm it's plugged into the NAZA unit. I'm just a bit nervous about actually detaching the receiver from the lid, it looks...

Hi all. New pilot/forum member here...unfortunately posting first time under bad circumstances. I guess I am just looking for someone to confirm my fears/suspicion that the GPS is likely DOA. I've been reading posts on issues with GPS lock and I cannot find anyone having issues like this...
