[andreiv37]

Recently my gl300E remote show 1% in settings and beeping continously .
I tried changing the battery no luck
I opened it and battery voltage are 7.40v
in a ic enter 7.40v and return 7.00v

Hi, @andreiv37, I think that reflowing the ic might work. You could also try gently heating the main chip on the circuit board with a heat gun. I have seen from others that have tried this that these 2 methods sometimes work to solve this issue.

Youtube videos will show you where and how to reflow the chip on main board to at least temporarily fix the issue. Did it a few times myself before finally sending them to DJI for repair. At that time they had stock and sent me like new replacements for very cheap incl frt both ways. It's worth a try to open a repair ticket, don't need to be original owner either. Replacement boards are hard to find, out of stock, or outrageously expensive, for good reason..they fail often.

I did it 4 times and each time it would revert back to not complete charging. I eventually sent it back to DJI and for $99 they repaired it...well they sent me back a new/refurbished one. I'm not sure if they're still doing that with the state of things with DJI and the government. You might try to buy a used one. There are plenty of people on these forums, try Capt KO, that have phantom 4 parts, or Drone Ted does repairs, he's great and very reasonable.

You might have to reflow it more than once.
I will try to find a permanent solution to this problem. There are a couple of guys here that did a lot of research about this topic.
It worked for me last night and right now I'm sitting at 3 lights with a full battery but not feeling like opening the controller again after a few weeks/months.

V1 users with Plus controller only!​

I had this issue back in 2019. Posted the solution in this thread - Maps not showing on Pro Plus remote? Here's the fix!
That was 5 years ago.
Since then, I bought a standard Phantom 4 controller, the GL300F and really haven't used the Plus GL300E.
There were app compatibility issues back then and I needed the drone in the air to start / complete a 2 year construction project.
Purchasing a GL300F and iPad made for an easy workaround.
Over the years, I'd occasionally pull out the GL300E to check battery charge try and keep it updated...
