OK so my PV2 was lucky enough to somewhat survive being run over by an suv in the the middle of the woods
Damage: -legs buckled
=camera module broke off
-props chipped
What I replaced: -Bought a new camera module and connector cable
- two new legs(made sure compass ribbon intact)
- installed new props
Inside the PV2 all looked good
What Ive done: -paired camera to wifi extender-camera works great!
-performed compass calibration-all went well
-located myself on "find my phantom" part of app- ALMOST EXACT LOCATION
What I can't do: No Satellite lock-stood there for 20 min. NOT ONE. Just blinks yellow
How can I use find my Phantom and not have any satellites???
Suggestions?
 
which wire is specific to the gps unit?
wouldn't it stand to reason that find my phantom wouldn't work if gps unit were disconnected
 
The GPS unit is located under the top half of the shell. It has a cable going to the main controller board and a cable going down to the compass. I would open it up and check those connections.

I saw that cable go up into the lid but behind the grey shielding tape. I was going to replace that cable but didn't know proper way to remove that grey shielding tape
 
Not sure I saw it in your post. Did you calibrate the IMU after you put in the new parts ?

Also, was there any damage to the top of the shell IE the GPS antenna ?
Sounds like a bad antenna.
