And to answer a few Qs, the bird was my daughters, she was off to college and really never used it, like I said maybe only flew a few times, never crashed or anything. Yah, she <left> it with Dad, and I finally got around to seeing if I could do anything with it. So, put in a new batt, and...

In talking with Nerds, when trying to update the firmware, it would just give the long beep, D----. They said it's bricked. Based on not being supported, and wouldn't have parts if they could fix it, they recommended to chuck it, and it's not worth putting any more $'s into it. Hate to give...

Before I tried to bring this back to life, it was maybe used 10 times. Anyone want a barely used P3S ?:oops:

Read the other FW links, watching DJI and others videos, I think I'm doing everything right. New charged full batts, put in SD card, powered on, after ~10 mins I get the 4 beeps, DDDD, then for the next 30 mins., all I hear is a solid beep, .txt file has this; ========== 2017.05.17 17:14:41...

and btw, total newB, but a techie so I get all this, just wanna get into this...

Yes, I checked the links and still searching anywhere/everywhere. This is a new to me P3S and dormant for these years, so charged up, installed app, connected and just trying to fly.

The red/green lights turn on, the gimbal moves, so I think the connectivity is ok. Maybe it's just dead??

If you can't help, you shouldn't need to tell everyone, just don't reply.

Hmmmm, being on one forum and being redirected to go look at another forum is not helpful. Any info on what is being asked?

A new to me Phantom 3 Standard, hasn't been used in over 3 years, and battery lights would not power on. I got a replacement, same specs, it came with 3 lights on, I charged for an hour and now has all 4 LEDs. I popped it in, turned on, and I get this in the app. Also, this IMU won't...
