Hi, it's been a while since I've last flown this drone and it's been because my drones motors won't start, there's one motor that has a continuous clicking noise, and when I try to take off, nothing happens, but in app it says taking off, although no motor is working. Is it because of one motor it is not taking off? As only one is making a continuous clicking sound but none seems to be working, even when trying to take off. Also the GPS also seems not to be connecting, as it only says atti no matter what mode, idk if it's related or not.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi, @Needydrone, welcome to the forum! Unfortunately, it looks like the main central board is stuffed. You can buy one here:DJI phantom 3 standard motherboard. If you need help with installation, I might be able to make a video showing you how to do this. Hope this helps,
Daniel

Worth it if you get it flying again, though!

I cannot hear this in your video.

It would be worth connecting the drone to DJI GO to check the status message displayed at the top of the app. The motors won’t start if it’s in any kind of error state.
