Hey folks,
I have a phantom 3 professional that I have flown since 2017 or so. Has been a rock solid unit for me all these years. Did a shell replacement on it in 2019 due to stress cracks and has flown like a champ the whole time.
In 2022, around August or so, I bought a Phantom 4 from a friend, and "retired" my P3... I took the props off, batteries out and put it in storage in an old hard case I had.
Fast forward to yesterday. I thought it would be a good little drone for a buddy of mine who has a P3S who is constantly having connection and range issues with his unit.. I dragged it out of the closet, got everything charged up, and we went out for a flight.... Went and got everything connected up and ready to take off, and I am not getting any video from the drone.... The app shows connected, good to go, and the drone will fly with no problems, but the app shows "gimbal disconnected" in the status...
I can control the gimbal with the controller up and down, the gimbal rolls and pitchs like it should... I can do a gimbal calibration and it completes fine... The inserted memory card does not show up either.
I have not done a thing to this yet to troubleshoot.... Just wondering if anyone has any ideas before I crack it open..
Thanks in advance.
