Update - problem solved on 1/12 post
I hate to be posting in this for my first post, but I have been looking through this site on a daily basis and love all the information, but I was having trouble finding any info on this.
I purchased this 4k about 3 weeks ago (second hand from buddy who always babied it and hasn't flown it much). I've flown it about 10 times (no bad weather, always clear and not windy) and never even remotely came close to crashing or having hard landings ( I got all of that out of the way with my cheaper ones
)
2 flights ago when I was flying in Litchi, the aircraft kept wanting to land but I would cancel it and continue to fly, all seemed to be going fine other than that hump and I kept it close and I flew a few different batteries like that. Jump ahead to yesterday. I went outside, beautiful day but just a little cold (35 F), and decided to fly in DJI Go. I flew about 5 minutes and all of the sudden the camera streaming froze up and I didn't have any battery info. I flew it back and landed to try and figure it out. This is where it gets confusing.
It shows no SD card. I've tried 2 SD cards, reformatted and have had no luck
It continually says I need to update although the version it wants me to update to is already installed, 1.5.4 and I can't update due to the lack of an SD card
I can't adjust aircraft settings such as max altitude or change battery drain times (for intelligent storage)
Gimbal won't scroll up and down but it fully functions when turned on and goes through all the warmup
I can't see battery voltage and only occasionally does it show battery percentage
When I go to shut it down, it delays about 5 seconds and the battery flashes red, I've tried 2 different batteries with the same operation
Camera on phone is black, no streaming
Aircraft flies just as it did before but no camera and limited battery info.
Light on front of gimbal sometimes flashes red/green and other times flashes green really quickly
I uninstalled and reinstalled DJI Go with no luck and aircraft acts this way in Litchi as well
I've tried to ensure all cables on gimbal are plugged in and ribbon looks fine and all wires coming down the legs look good as well. It worries me though that the battery info is lacking and I can't edit aircraft settings, makes me think its more than just the gimbal.
The only issue I see is I updated it when I first picked it up and looking back at the files on the sd card (that no longer works) I see a file that ends with "damaged.bin." I'm not sure if it got messed up when I updated but it's been flying normal for the few weeks after the update.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to get out as much info as possible. Any information or help would be GREATLY appreciated, this is driving me crazy, I just want to fly!!! THANK YOU in advance!!
