hi guys,
im new here, and need some help if its impossible at all.
the story is:
the drone crashed nearly a year ago, and the camera broke off. the phantom still was able to fly, but i lost the interest and didnt want to spend 300£+ for a new camera, so the drone spent the last year on the shelf.
last week i decided to fix it, so i charged everything up (batteries still had charge, as i stored charged), and tried to fire up.
drone turned on, controller turned on, but red led lighted as not connected to drone. ok, need to pair again after this long time, its fine.
i hooked up the controller to the ipad, but dji go didnt see the controller attached. I deleted the app, reinstall, tried with different phones, etc, no luck. I hooked up to my mac, dji assistant saw the controller, said firmware can be updated to 1.6 or whatever. started to update, around 40-50 percent it stoped, said failed. tried redo, didnt start the upgrade at all. since the controller cant turn on, just the leds lighting as normal, but no beeping, and the hard reset button combinations dont work either. looks like the assist deleted the previous firmware and now there is no firmware at all, just the blank hardware with the battery control system.
I dont know why the dji didnt put a just readable, recoverable basic firmware for these situations?
any ideas if i could do something, or it became an expensive crap ??
ah yeah, model: gl300A
thanks for any help guys, i have read the internet already, but didnt find similar problem
