Hello,

I'm very new in drone world and i've mainly started with a crash.
So, the flat wire connecting the camera broke and I've changed it all, camera seems to work fine and mov correctly but after this, when turning on my Phantom 3 std, the screen shows no positioning ATTI and the most weird thing : no satellites recognition, not 1 or 2 : 0.

Behind lights are blinking slowly in yellow and I can take off, but seems very weird having 0 gps.

The picture is on the interior but outside I have the same problem.

What could it be ?

If you can help it could be great... I'm a bit lost

If no satellite signals are being received, the drone can't be anything but Atti mode.
The most likely causes are either a cracked GPS receiver or a loose connection from the GPS antenna.
The GPS is under the shielding stuck to the underside of the top shell.
It should have a wire from that to the main board.

Hello, I unmounted the GPS and it was a bit loose, after this it's recognising GPS but asking for compass calibration, impossible to calibrate makes me turn the drone during 5 min !

Which piece should I change or try ?

A compass error that won't calibrate is usually a disconnected compass.
You can confirm by checking the Sensors section of your app settings to see what it shows for the compass.
If it shows a number, the compass is connected.
If it shows zero, you need to reconnect it.
With a little luck it will be at the mainboard end where you can see it easily.

Hello,

Thanks for the guidelines !
If i understand well, some numbers should be showed in the picture ?
It sais ok but gives aleatory errors.
The compass is a part of the GPS or a piece on its own ?

The compass is that thing attached down near the bottom of one of the legs.
I don't recognise that screen you posted.
It's a long time since I used DJI Go but back when I had Phantom 3s this is what the page you need looked like.
See how it shows values for the IMU and compass.

Thanks a lot for the information.
The drone works perfectly !
