I just had a weird one.
The camera seemed OK on startup but would die after a few seconds.
The screen would stay black and there were odd indications about weak signal - although I was 1 metre away and the signal seemed fine.
The P3 would fly ok (blind).
I did everything I could think of and nothing helped .... until I took out the SD card.
Simply taking the card out fixed it.
There was nothing on the card - I'll reformat it and see how it goes later.
Talked to my dealer and he's heard of a few doing this.
If the Phantom doesn't read or doesn't like the SD card on startup, it switches the camera off.

A good reason to have a spare card or two in your bag - as well as for those times you leave the card in the computer.
 
Let's pin this thread and actually start listing known compatible/incompatible card models and brands. That way we can help avoid wasting money on cards that don't work. Maybe DJI could use the list to investigate issues too?
