Hey guys,
Noobie here and hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to either troubleshoot or (if there's such thing) a way to wipe and reconfigure the Phantom 1 from the start.
A number of months ago, I purchased a used Phantom 1 with 'ebay' gimbal on it and everything worked like a champ. One day I went to fly it and I think my remote batteries were low and when I took off, the Phantom just flew like a bat out of hell towards the sky and arched over a tree, lost power and went straight down. Most of the blades broke and also snapped one of the upper arms. So I bought a new body for it and swapped everything out. We did a reconfiguration and it told us it was successful. We also recalibrated the remote.
Ever since then, all I can manage is 1 green flash followed by 3 red flashes...the minimal number of satellites connected. Before that, I always had the home lock blink (6 greens) and would have the most number of green flashes and no reds.
So after hearing my 'story', is there anything that is ringing a bell? Is it the GPS unit? Can I reconfigure it? What's the best way to troubleshoot and more importantly, get me back safely in the air?
Thanks for any/all responses - feel free to link me to a prior thread, didn't have much luck sifting through all the others to pinpoint my issue!
