You need to downgrade firmware in order to fix the error, same bin fixes other error.

Yes I do, here a link to it and don't forget to use a fan to prevent frying the mainboard, also use both bins when installing and let it rip for close to 30 minutes. P3X_FW_V01.10.0090.zip

when you extract both bins from the compressed file on to a formatted sd card
there should be two

Thank you. I see the two files on the SD card. Start drone nothing loads. I also tried the Dji way where the blank formatted card goes in the drone and you copy the files onto it via USB cable to drone. My laptop doesn't list a USB to copy to unless I also have a micro USB plugged in. The micro is "D" , the usb to drone is "E" but nothing copies to it. I also tried the ""forced"" load where you push and hold the link switch then power up the drone and it doesnt load the SD files either.

once you put the sd card with the two bins and turn on the drone it should start the writing process. is beyond me why it doesn't work. are you using a fan in front of the camera as well right?

I've found the problem and it's not firmware. upon close inspection, the two front motors are cocked a little. The main board is completely broken off its attachment points. Hard crash no doubt, but it didn't leave a mark on the shell.
Thanks everyone for the help.
