Experts Needed - Bought a crashed P4P Obsidian

ok i got 4 lights
OK for lights mean it got good cells inside, does your charger lead just plug into that square shape charging unit,,could try another power lead there,the charger could be bad but not way really to test with opening it and using multimeter,,,or get another charger to try,,yes bit unsure on 1 solid batt light,,could leave it charging but keep eyes on it in case charger get very hot,,......forgot does the remote charge with same charger

Yes the remote charges on the same charger. I left the battery charging all night last night and nothing changed. The charger charges the other battery just fine.

Mayby try discharge it bit more,,will the batt power on ? Keep turning it on after it turns off automatically, stays on so many minutes,,do this few times then try charging it,,,strange one this cause you got 4 good lights showing,,not hybination or it would have started recharging by now,,,or fit it into your drone and discharge that way,,off and on so nothing get hot,,? Still thinking on this one

Ok ty I will try that. Here is a video of what is happening.
 
OK I have only just manage to watch clip,,is drone able to have batt inserted and be powered on with app open,,that will say what current charge it has,,,,,,your drone should power up even if in parts but depending what still conected depends on app display but should still have onscreen voltage (I hope).myself is wery on battery's that play games,,I had 100% on launch only to go to critical just below 400ft straight up,,no control of wobble down to 72ft where it shut off in flight on me house roof (concrete tiles)bad out come so now I hate these smart battery's, mind off their own lol

I plugged it into the drone it will not show and battery data on the battery tab but on the man screen it keeps saying battery critically low. I put the other battery in to check it it will not pull battery data on the battery tab either but on the main page the green bar says its full.

I now have the battery so low that it will not power on the drone and now its a different issue the forth light is flashing and will not charge.

OK that batt got issues,like mine that won't charge because it discharge to just over 2 volt,,day on charger only made it to 2.23 volts,,to low for charger to engage charging,,as can see with my batt there bit of stuff under the cover ,circut board and ribbon cable,,,when at this stage plug with 4 wires needs to be removed and a trickle charge like car charger can be used to get some volts back so dji charger will charge again,,,in saying this it's a dangerous process and need to be treated with care,,I did not go further with this process due to no other charger but working on it,,,if you can start looking for another batt,,or some good used ones,,,battery's not cheap and at 320 each here I plan to try fix this one since it near new ,this batt display no lights,you could pull the covers off and check for visible damage

That is it. I just ordered one but thankyou. What is wrong with your gimble?
Um,,nothing,serious , snapped cam off on impact from free fall from bad battery,,was my own fault ,,to much in hurry to fly and put wrong batt in it,I knew straight away what was coming but I was already at 400ft,,100%on take off but critical voltage alert ,,it was bit up the road and manage to get it just over head before big wobbles start uncontrollable down to 72ft where the batt turned OFF,oh well at least it hit my concrete roof,shatted the tile and me p4,,bounced off on to the lawn below,gezz you should have heard the impact,,that's what tore my esc cable,,I have slowly been buying bits just to have 2 xp4s up and running,,this why me not like these batteries,,they got mind of there own..
