I understand this model is no longer supported by DJI, and a friend recommended this forum. I'm totally frustrated and hopeful that someone can help. We haven't played with my drone since pre-covid. (last flew in 2019) It was a nice day so I decided to haul it out and fly it over our property. I checked to see if there were any new software/firmware updates and the only thing that needed updating was the DJI GO software. Prior to updating the software, the drone was talking to the controller, and I could use the camera. I updated the software and thats when the problems began. My ipad was giving me a lost connection error and thanks to this forum I was able to use that multiple buttons fix to sync the controller and get it talking to the drone again. Everything looks great from the controller, no errors from the flight LEDS, I double checked the firmware and reinstalled the last known update (from 2017) just to be safe. Should be good right? NOPE! Darn thing will not let the motors start. I'm right on the edge of the 5 mile "no fly" limit to our county airport so I drove out a ways and found an open field to try and launch. Same problem. Everything looks good on the controller and the drone but when I pull down on the joysticks to launch, I get nothing. I'd hate to be the owner of a $1500 boat anchor and a new one isn't in the budget right now. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
