I really need one. Check your junk drawer . If u put in an HDMI board in a GL300A u might still have one. It has to be from a GL300A not a b or C.
Usb board for GL300A
- Thread starter Droneted
- Start date
Note that what gets damaged there is always the same thing - flash chip for Davinci processor.
In GL300b and GL300c there is no DaVinci (unless you have HDMI board - it contains its own Davinci processor).
It is possible that you'll be able to fix the board by re-programming it; I remember seeing complete instruction somewhere on the forum. You need to solder wires to service pads on the board, and you need FTDI device to do that.

That's cool. thanks for the information. My problem is I am older than dirt and don't have a clue as to what an FTDI devise is. I can replace defective boards but fix them.. .
What FTDI is:
LMGTFY
You don't necessarily need the FTDI from original manufacturer, you can get USB-to-TTL converter from china.
How to flash:
Flashing firmware on DaVinci media processors · mefistotelis/phantom-firmware-tools Wiki · GitHub
And here you can get instruction with photos for flashing bootloader:
No image transmission signal - P3P

thanks. I am checking the threads right now. I wish I were 40 years younger. Not sure I can handle this at 73. My eyes are failing, my hands are shaky and my mind is somewhere else.
I looked on Amazon, will this work: Tinksky FT232RL FTDI USB2.0 to TTL Serial Converter Adapter Module for Arduino
I always get a bit suspicious if such device claims to support both 3.3V and 5V, and has no shunt to choose between them. But should work.
I bough mine a bit cheaper - took the one with copper ground around the board and with cables included:
Wholesale usb to ttl Gallery - Buy Low Price usb to ttl Lots on Aliexpress.com

I live in Poland; sending the package back and forth would be more expensive that the board itself.
These soldering points do require a bit precision, though a lot less that soldering BGA chips.
If you're not sure about it, your best bet would be to search for another gl300x remote, or damaged gl300a, on ebay; ie in these categories:
phantom (controller,radio,remote,gl300) in Cameras and Photography Supplies | eBay
phantom (controller,radio,remote,gl300) in Toys and Hobbies | eBay
