PHANTOM 3 STANDARD WON'T CONNECT.

[Sea Pilot]

I posted this same message on the DJI forum as well to try to get some help asap:
My Phantom 3 Standard won't connect. Not being able to get the remote to connect with the quad copter. I haven't flown it for a couple of months since I have purchased a Mavic 2. The screen doesn't show my camera view at all, and all it shows in aircraft status window is battery temperature with the N/A in red. Charged both batteries and controller this morning so I could fly and now things aren't working as planned. Wondering what cold go wrong if not used for a couple of months. Everything stored inside and warm temperatures. I am inside trying to do this because its about 30 degrees outside. Help please.

With the RC and AC on are u able to start the motors? (Props not attached of course)

RC and AC on iPad Air 2 on. Nothing connected. Top of screen shows “DISCONNECTED “, that’s it.

Forgot to mention, DJI GO app being used.

Disconnected means your device isn't connected to the RC. The RC and AC likely are connected. You can verify by trying a motor start.

Motors won’t start.

They wont immediately, the AC has to still warm up. But make sure ur ipad is connected to the phantom wifi

With everything on, opened DJI go, clicked on camera nothing through it.

Got green lights on ac and rc,,I try relinking,,,gimble light on

If DJI Go says "DISCONNECTED" that ONLY means that your ipad is not connected to the RC via wifi. It has NOTHING to do with the RC to AC comm. Your first step is to make sure you are connected to the correct wifi. If the power light on the RC is green then its connected to the AC.

Gimbal light on green, front lights solid red, rear lights flashing yellowish.

Well folks, I found that my wi-fi wasn’t getting a good signal so unplugged it and waited for a little while, plugged it back in and “lo and behold” things are back to normal once again. I can’t possibly thank all of you for helping me troubleshoot. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It’s time to fly again.

The airport is on the map and I click on it to fill in the blank just abouve my controller number and nothing happens so I am not able to go any further. Has anyone had this happen to them in the past. I have tried several times with no success.
