Motors on P3 Standard won't start and need repair addresses for Southern California

larrythedroneguy · Nov 18, 2017

Hi all. I haven't used my Phantom 3S since the last two updates (about a year).

I have taken it out to fly again. First I charged all the batteries. Then I updated to the latest firmware and the installation checked and said I had the latest version. Then I re-calibrated the sticks and IMU and they checked as working. Then I re-calibrated the compass.

I cannot get the motors to start. I even tried auto takeoff and sometimes after numerous attempts the motors would run for a few seconds and then stop. I have been screwing around with this problem for a couple of days. If no one can help with answers then next I need to take it where I can get it fixed. So if anyone in southern California knows where there are repair facilities please let me know.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
