Hello everyone,
I've been reading up allot lately, and greatly appreciate all of the info and help that I have gotten from everyone already.
I've had my phantom 2 vision for about two weeks now and have had 2 successful flights with no issues.
Today feeling more comfortable and looking forward to another flight I ran into a problem. I powered everything on and was un-able to connect to the CAMERA through the vision app.
I tried power cycling the entire system. (Tx, wifi extender, camera and phantom) a few times with no luck. My phone connects to the rang extender with no problem. When I try to connect to the camera through the app it comes up with an error message "unable to connect to phantom 2 vision". I attempted to re-bind the wifi extender to see if that made a difference, and it did not.
So I believe that I isolated the problem to the phantoms camera itself. When powering on the phantom and with the power switch on the camera switched to on /on wifi I do not get any type of status light from camera. And I can't say that even with my successful flights I ever noticed a status light on the camera. I've checked the plug going into the camera and re seated it several times also without any luck. Maybe the camera for whatever reason is no longer being powered from the plug? I'll have to check with a volt meter Monday.
Does anyone actually get a status light from the camera? I've seen a few YouTube videos that don't seem to have a light on the camera either.
And does anyone have any suggestions for me to get this thing working?
Extremely frustrating since it was working so well and then all of a sudden nothing....
Appreciate any help

I even tried pressing the camera shutter button on the bottom of the camera to see if it would do anything and no luck.
