Hi guys,
Made the sin of purchasing a phantom 3 on ebay!
It powers on. Two Solid Red at the front, 2 flashing green at the rear. Everything is calibrated, looks good. Yet the props or motors won't engage.
I have popped open the case, everything is fine, including the compass, as it is not showing any errors.
However, one motor is a bit stiff, so unscrewed it, and it shows signs (copper wire in the motor shredded) of someone screwing the wrong size of screws into the holes as if they have removed the prop guards and reconnected the old screws.
Would I be wise in purchasing and replacing one of the motors and testing it, or am I onto a dud here?
Gus
