P3 Advanced controller problems?

[Coolis72]

Hi.
First of all, nice to find this Community. I'll really hope to find som nice tips 'n trix in here.
Now to my question.
I bought a used P3 Adv this summer and alla was good and fun. During the rainy Days in sweden this fall, there has not been som much flytime that i was hoping for. But when the time came to fly, my controller will not charge?
I've searched the internet and found out that i'm not alone with the same problem, but no one can seem to find a solution? I have reached out to dji but thats a dead end. They will need to see a receipt for the purchase, wich i do not have.
I hav tried to make a hard reset to the battery by disconecting the batterycable, still same problem. I have tried the "puch 3 or more buttons" trick, still same result.
Is there someone out/ in here who has a solution?
Thanks in advanced, from a Newbie Swede

Did you test it out before your purchase? Did the controller ever work?

Are you sure the battery is dead or could the battery be OK and the entire unit is dead? Since you are obviously comfortable opening up the RC, disconnect the battery cable and test the battery. It could be a bad battery or perhaps the electronics that feed the charge.

If you purchased this used, DJI is not going to require a receipt unless it's an after-sale warranty claim. Having it repaired may be less than a replacement. In the interim, you can shop e-bay or even the classifieds on this forum for another used one. Lots of guys sitting around with spare controllers who have lost their AC.

And welcome to the forum!
